Llewann Bryant, director of Keck Memorial Library in Wapello, was kind enough to share her pictures from a recent game night at the local nursing home. "The residents had a ball!" she said. With the Wii system, even the wheelchair-bound residents were able to "go bowling" again, some even throwing the same as they did in league! Many grandparents were just anxious to tell their techno-grandkids that they had experienced the "Wii" phenomenon. Llewann mentioned that even those that didn't play enjoyed watching the others experience the games. She was very pleased by the success of the outing and plans to have more game nights such as this in the future.
