If you're thinking about adding video games to your circulating collections, be sure to check out the article in the April issue of School Library Journal.
Author Trevor Oakley, Teen Services Librarian at the Guilderland (NY) Public Library, shares his library's experiences in providing a collection of video games. The top 25 circulating video games is also listed with a brief annotation for each game.
If your library doesn't subscribe to SLJ, I can lend you the System's copy. Just send me an email.
While we're talking about circulating video games, a suggestion was made that the System create a rotating collection of games similar to the Audio Book Circuit. So, here's my questions for you:
1. Is your library interested in a rotating collection of video games?
2. Would you be willing to contribute to the cost of purchasing the games?

Depending on the cost of the rotation, games available for which game systems, I would be very interested to hear more details. This certainly would be an advantage to have games available for checkout if libraries were to offer a gaming night. Sue / Brickl Memorial Libary/ Dickeyville
