Have a game night!

Summer's been a busy time for our Playstation 2 Game Kits, but they'll be coming available again after August 1st (coming soon: the Nintendo Wii!) This is a great way to attract youth and families to your library - even with the surge of outdoor activities summertime has to offer, it's always nice to have cooler indoor options too, right? Many of our games even promote physical activity as well as fun!

Current games (choose three with each rental) include Guitar Hero, Nascar, Dance Dance Revolution, Super Monkey Ball Adventure, Eye Toy Play 2, Eye Toy AntiGrav, Jeopardy and SingStar Rocks (more to come!) All of these are party style games, with the accessories and instructions included (Eye Toy cameras, a driving wheel and pedals, guitar, dance pad, etc.) and can even be projected onto a larger screen, wall or blanket. An additional system can also be rented (if available) for an extra $5.

Use our online registration form to reserve your kit - it's easy and only takes a couple of minutes!You'll get a confirmation email right after so you can start advertising immediately. The only cost to you is a $5 fee per night (or day). You are also responsible for shipping, however, in most cases we've been able to pick up and drop off when in the area - feel free to call before reserving to check.

Sold on the idea, but wondering when to have it and how to make it work for you? Try these out:

-School breaks or in-service days

-Teen Reading Week (October 14-20)
-An end of summer/back to school event

...The possibilities are endless, and all are a great way to get people into your library to see what else you can offer them during the year! Call Amanda Wright with any questions or for other suggestions.
