CIVIC CENTER LIBRARY VIDEO GAME SURVEY
Teens! Would you like to see video games that you can check out at the Library? Civic Center is planning on adding a video game collection to the Teen Area later this year, and your friendly neighborhood Teen Librarian needs your input!
1. Should the library carry just console based games (Wii, PS2, etc.) or handheld (GameBoy, DS, PSP, etc.) or both? And which platforms?
2. What specific game titles would you like to see?
3. If the Library charged a small rental fee (e.g., $1 for a one-week check-out), would you still want to check out the games?
4. Any other thoughts regarding video games in the Library?
You can respond to these questions by commenting on the blog (just click on "# Comments"). For those of you too shy to comment on the blog, write down your responses and drop them off in the suggestion box at Civic Center Library or e-mail your thoughts to jvisnaw(at)livonia(dot)lib(dot)mi(dot)us.

RELEASE FORMS STILL NEEDED
Attention: Teens who attended the March Teen Advisory Committee meeting
City Channel 8 still needs your release forms so they can broadcast the footage that was taken of the meeting. Ideally, drop off forms with parent/guardian signature ASAP to any of the Livonia libraries (ask for the Teen librarian when you drop off the form).
Otherwise, I think the City Channel 8 people are going to put big opaque boxes over your faces. So get those forms in as soon as you can!
