Thing 20

I think many people's first reaction to gaming in libraries is negative. It certainly has never been a "traditional" library service. But I think it's another way to move into the future and bring more young people into the library. They may come for the gaming and discover other facets to the library. It is also a way to be more "relevant" to the younger generation. I don't think anything that brings people (especially younger people) into the library is a bad thing. I'm sure it would seem odd at first to have gaming in the library, but it probably seemed odd when public computers were first avialable too.
