Library Offers RuneScape Game Day

This is a terrific, positive article from the Bartlesville Examiner Enterprise about a library serving its post-story hour youth  by hosting a game day during which teens could play RuneScape on the library's computers. For those who wonder why libraries should be offering this sort of activity, here's a very good one:

"We see all these kids come in every day and play games," says Cindy Yell, who works in Administration and Reference at the library and spearheaded the event with co-worker Carleen Huxley. "We love the games and like having [the kids] in the library, so why not make a special day that's going to make them feel a little more welcome?"

And another:

"Usually I'll play at home," says Kayla Nakayama, 14, "but I like coming here and playing at the library because there's a whole bunch more people here and I can meet new people."

Major kudos to the clueful librarians at the Bartlesville Public Library (OK)!  They even have a blog!
