Video Game Collection Now in Teen Dept at Library

Emma Clark Library is pleased to announce a new Video Game Collection in the Teen Department…available NOW!

In addition, there will be video games available in the Children’s Department starting this fall.

Video and computer game playing, when practiced in moderation, has many benefits. While kids are gaming, they are also learning how to collaborate in a team, strategize, explore, make decisions, and take risks. The games help kids prepare for today’s fast-paced digital world. Video games can be fun and motivating, and along with books and traditional games, they are another method of educating our youth in the 21st century.

The library will have games for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Wii, WiiU, Xbox360, and Xbox One, with popular titles such as Splatoon, Just Dance 2015, Little Big Planet 3, Lego Jurassic World, and Batman: Arkham Asylum. Like movies, video games circulate for one week and may be renewed as long as no one else has reserved the game.

Patrons may recommend games for the library to purchase; the library will be accepting suggestions for games rated T or lower: 1) Post on the library’s Facebook timeline: www.facebook.com/EmmaClarkLibrary 2) Tweet @escml 3) Post on Instagram to @emmaclarklibrary or 4) Email teens@emmaclark.org.

Emma Clark Library also holds special Minecraft, Xbox, and WiiU programs throughout the year for both kids and teens in the Technology Center. All programs may be found in the printed newsletter, and you may register for them online under Programs.

If you have any questions about the new Video Game Collections, you may contact teens@emmaclark.org or kids@emmaclark.org. Or call 631.941.4080.

The Emma S. Clark Memorial Library, located at 120 Main Street in Setauket and on the web at www.emmaclark.org, provides public library service to all residents of the Three Village Central School District.
