They're here....And you should be, too!! Video games are now available for loan in the Children's Room (and in TeenSpace)! Our collection has been jump started with fun, family-oriented (rated E for Everyone) games for Wii, PS2, PS3, and Xbox systems.
Gaming provides stories and information in a new format while enriching vocabulary and encouraging literacy activities. Simply put, you have to know how to read to know how to play. It is also a great way to try out new games (without the financial investment) like Madden NFL 10 or The Great Dinosaur Rescue, while having a little indoor fun on these blistery winter days.
And, if you're kids are new to the Wii system then perhaps they'd like to join us for our Wii Buddies program on Wednesday, Feb. 17 @ 2pm. Children in grades 1-5 will learn the ins and outs of Wii Sports with some help from our teen volunteers. Limited program registration begins on Feb. 3.
Children's video games are on loan to Syosset residents for seven days. There are no renewals and no holds. Click here for more information on the wonderful things gaming can bring to your library.
