    Default Libraries Will Celebrate National Gaming Day

    In 5 days 16,000 libraries across the United States will celebrate National Gaming Day, paying respect to video and board games: http://www.gamedaily.com/articles/ne...-to-libraries/

    It's a nice gesture and all, but none of my local libraries(that I know of) have even started getting video games to rent

    Do people even go to libraries anymore? Seriously, how have they stayed relevant in the Internet age?

    easily you can't beat actually holding and reading a book. Do you read novels online? What about when you have no power? My local library is doing very well and expanding.

    I suppose I forgot about that aspect of the library - checking out books to read. No, I don't read novels online. I read the news online, but for novels and manuals, I prefer the real deal. To me, the primary function of a library was for research, which is so much more easily done online today.

    actually, i am kind of a nerd, libraries don't entertain me. video games in a library entertain me, so rock on for libraries. they get the gold star for the day.

    The Library around here is always packed. It is huge and even has a small coffee shop that sells food & drinks. It is filled with Moms with small children.

    I wish my library would do this, but they probably won't.

    I think the Sheboygan library already did it. Could be wrong. It pretty much was going to be a couple of wii systems and simple stuff hooked up.
