They should include a catalog of video games for kids to check out. And maybe even install a couple computers for kids to play games like Minecraft, roblox, terraria, star bound, etc. Or whatever game is popular among kids at the time.<br /><br />The idea is to get kids to get a library card and video games attract huge crowds. And once you get them through the door it's easier to get them to start using other library services like books and movies and ebooks, etc. After all, the more people you can get through the library doors to get a library card, the more funding they get from the local government. <br /><br />My blog: https://sulfen.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17255913865930380960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3276051079969390023.post-21099541756153907362017-02-11T07:49:41.022-08:002017-02-11T07:49:41.022-08:00I love libraries!

I've always thought of a library as just a place to study, or if I needed a book I didn't want to buy, that's where I would go. It's great that you've highlighted this topic! There's so much more to libraries than just the books they hold. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04490072907515897173noreply@blogger.com
