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.

1.I think that you should release hand held games, like those for the DS. Most of these games are quite short and fun, but might not be worth to spend $30 or $15 for something you will only play once. And remember! The Wii can play old gamecube games as well!
2. As far as specific titles:

For the DS: The World Ends With You, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon (there are various types)

For the Gamecube: Tales of Symphonia(there's a sequal coming out), Paper Mario, and Resident Evil seem to be popular. Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is for both the Wii and Gamecube. So get the Wii version.

3. A small $1 is nothing compared to what Blockbuster charges for the same amount of time. So I'd still rent them.

4. I have nothing more to say.
