Libraries and online gaming

Online gaming is like a trap to me. It sucks me in and I end up wasting so much time. I normally play candy crush on my phone or Sims on my ipad. I recently read an article called
"Lets Play: Why School Librarians Should Embrace Gaming in the Library"


It is an interesting article. It talks about how the librarian can be more relatable to the patron. It also stated that it will help the librarian with different developmental skills.

I personally play games when I am bored but then I get hooked and would love to spend my time engrossed in a game. I think the article has a lot of good points. But for myself I would rather connect with the patron through literature. But i do think that playing games are fun, and just may help make a new connection with a patron.
