Many academic and public libraries are using games to attract the younger generation to their libraries. Many librarians are using the ideas published in the book, Gaming and Libraries: Intersection of Services, by Jenny Levine. What do you think?
Susan Lavin, Systems Analyst — “What? Libraries are now using games to drive in traffic? What crazy thing will they do next – let people check out DVDs?”
Steven Crossette, Fifth Grade Teacher — “Yes, I think games are a great idea. I’ve often had my students play a rousing game of Tic-Tac-Toe to get their creative juices flowing. “
John Forrester, Corporate Sales — “As a salesperson, I know how important it will be for the younger generation to learn teamwork skills. I just have absolutely no idea how silly little games will teach them THAT!”
