Editor's Notes
- #4 I'm Justin Hoenke, teen librarian for the Portland Public Library. I'm not much of a book person. I was always reading magazines, playing video games, and coming up with my own tales. How did I get to become a librarian? Well, I just wanted to help people.
- #5 I got my MLIS from Clarion University of Pennsylvania in 2008. I worked at the Cape May County Library in New Jersey from 2008-2010. I started at the Portland Public Library in Maine on March 23, 2010.
- #10 Gaming builds community. This is taken from a library lock in event that I had at CMC Library. ALL of these teens met each other FIRST at our game night events.
- #17 Games have storylines. These have all the elements of books: plot, characters, rising action, end, middle, beginning, climax, conflict.
- #18 Games are full of mythology. Games create their own universe in which the player can immerse themselves in.
- #19 GAMES TELL A STORY
- #25 You will be equiped with four 4-player capable games, Wii Sports, Wii Play, Wii Sports Resort, and Mario Kart Wii, as well as have rechargable batteries, cases, and a console. You probably can’t get more bang for your buck as far as basic library programming goes.
