Wii Are Community: An Introduction
nWhat is the purpose of the Grant?
To encourage patrons to meet & exchange
ideas with other community members using
newer gaming technology during inter-
generational events.
nWhy Gaming?
Newer generations don’t use library services
in traditional ways, so gaming in general
brings in new demographics and exposes
them to other library services.
