One Year Lending Video Games

Librarian John Scalzo has been lending video games at his library for a year. “And in those twelve months I’d have to say it has gone as good as anyone could have hoped. In the end, the numbers don’t lie, and a success is all this experiment can be called.” He’s Happy With The Results

So at the end of the first year, having games in a library has been a complete success. They are popular with adults, children and teens and I’ve only heard the faintest of grumblings (mostly from older patrons) questioning why a library would carry, scoff, games. They are an accepted part of the collection now and it’s hard to ask for anything more than that.
