I like the idea of talking about non-video games. If you are going to support gaming — and as we know there are great reasons to do so — extend it to all ages, not just teens? And all types of games — I can see Flux or Apples To Apples as great games for a library setting!

I’d like to see some focus on evaluation of gaming. Funders often want to see quantitative results that library programming is being put to good use. What proven evaluative methodologies can be used to capture something as seemingly nebulous as gaming in libraries?

For an article and photos about our first Wii bowling event with members (residents) from the Grand Island Veterans Home, and teens and staff from the Grand Island Public Library, go to this link: http://www.theindependent.com/stories/12022007/fea_wiibowl02.shtml It was a little difficult, at first, to get our members to bowl, but after several experienced success, including strikes on their first throw, they couldn’t wait to bowl. The kids and staff were so encouraging, too. The event met all of our goals of mental, physical and social “exercise!” This time we did not really have teams or bowl complete games. We had two “teams” of teens & members who took turns bowling, to complete one game, then the kids demonstrated Dance Dance Revolution and Guitar Hero on PlayStation 2.
