Video Games as a Service
Attention Michigan librarians: Always wanted to run a video game tournament, but don't know how to hook up a PS2 to a TV or computer monitor? The Woodlands Library Cooperative has the solution -- an all-day workshop on May 4th, called Video Games As A service: How To Host Successful Tournaments At Your Library, featuring Erin Helmrich and Eli Neiberger of Ann Arbor District Library.
If you attend, you'll learn why video games belong in the library, the state of the video game industry, how to play games like Dance Dance Revolution and Mario Kart, how to promote your events and build a community around them. Sounds like a winner to me! Erin & Eli, any chance you could come to New Jersey to present this workshop? Based on the excellent attendance (11 people!) I had at my DDR Party last Friday, I think you're onto a winner here.

We'd be happy to come to New Jersey! We're doing a full-day preconference workshop at the Texas Library Assocation's annual conference next month, so out of state is not out of the question. Let's talk.
The wonderful thing about gaming events is that the market itself is on the upswing... the sky's the limit. At our december all-ages DDR tournament, we had 90+ adults, teens, and kids all competing together at the library on a friday night.

Yay!
I will e-mail you. I have an idea for a YA Services Section preconference for next year's NJLA Conference.

Cannon Air Force Base Library near Clovis, NM, has a good collection of v.g. -- the only AF military library to keep such a collection for checkout?

夜的第七章
发如雪
千里之外
舞娘
花的嫁纱
离歌
大城小爱
老公老公我爱你
一万个理由
菊花台
触电
求佛
一眼万年
白色风车
手放开
那年夏天
夜曲
寂寞沙洲冷
心雨
老婆老婆我爱你
生日礼物
我想更懂你
死了都要爱
不得不爱
约定
香水有毒
爸爸妈妈
秋天不回来
曹操
今天你要嫁给我
今天你要嫁给我
QQ爱
让泪化作相思雨
听妈妈的话
羽毛
简单爱
我不后悔
狼爱上羊
反转地球
隐形的翅膀
爱我别走
