A2: Library

The Library Journal publishes a Q&A with Eli Neiburger, associate director of IT and product development at Ann Arbor District Library, noting that in the world of gaming in libraries, his “is a name to conjure with.” In response to a question about why libraries should care about gaming, Neiburger says: “Video games are a dominant form of content in our society. Gaming events at libraries give patrons who are interested in that dominant form of content an opportunity to explore that interest socially. The broader the range of opportunities the library presents, the broader the range of patrons who will benefit from the library’s resources.” [Source]
