Video Games!

This year the library is going to start offering something we have never offered before. Starting this year we will be providing video games for checkout. The plan is to have games for the three big systems. Wii, Playstation 3 and Xbox.

We will have games from all different ratings. The rating system is shown below. They will range from Early Childhood to Mature (language and violence - war games)

*They are going to checkout just like DVD's do now.
*You have to be 14 to check one out.
*You will need to be 17  to check out anything with a mature rating.
*At first we will let you check out one at a time until we get more, then we will raise it to 2.

*You can have them for two weeks

There is NO CHARGE for this but remember just like everything else if you lose it or damage it you will have to pay the replacement cost. This can be up to $50 for some of the newer games. Please take care of them. 

We like to provide the kinds of things that you guys want. So help us out by taking care of the games so that we can build up a good collection. 

Here is where I need your help. I need you to tell me what kind of games you would like to see, even specific titles. We are going to try to get this started soon and be in full swing by Spring. 

So....please let me know! You can comment here or if you would rather email me at webmaster@owenlib.org
