A few nights ago the library hosted its first gaming night for teenagers in conjunction with Teen Tech Week. It was a huge success! You know you have a fun job when you get to spend 2 hours with teens playing Rock Band on Playstation 2 and Dance Dance Revolution on XBox 
This program also attracted many new teens to the Library. The look on some of the kids’ faces when they looked in the room and saw Playstation being projected onto a huge screen in the conference room was that of surprise and excitement! Once you learn the ins and outs of setting up the various equipment (many a color-coded cord to plug in!) it really is an easy program to run. I was also happily surprised with how willing the teens were to take turns and make sure that everyone was playing – that was refreshing. If you are looking for a teen program that basically runs itself and has a big draw, try a gaming night at your Library!
