 If you have games to donate, please drop them off at the library. We will be counting on donations to increase this collection. If you have suggestions for titles to get, please e-mail them to blibrary@metrocast.net

 INCLUDE the GAME PLATFORM wanted. Games will be treated like DVDs...any game we get that is rated M for Mature will only be checked out to those who have adult cards (age 18 and up), or, with a parent present who gives permission on an underage card. Patrons will be responsible for any loss or damage to games and charged a replacement fee. Parents who have signed for children's cards take financial responsibility for any items lost or damaged by their children.

Console Games will circulate for 3 weeks but will not be renewed due to the limited number of them in our collection. They will also be fined at $1.00 per day if they are overdue.

The library also has a small collection of PC Games, mostly geared towards young children (Harry Potter, Nancy Drew mysteries, and other learning games) and non-fiction titles such as resume writing programs, family history, and writing business plans.

We are doing this as "test run" to see how well these circulate, whether they are returned promptly and in good condition, and on time. Should we find that any of these factors are an issue, we may decide not to continue this collection so we ask that patrons take good care of disks and bring items back in a timely manner.
