I do have some of this in the annual census, but it's not... more »

Tower defense boardgame review
|
| |
Greetings! On my last episode of Board Games with Scott, I talked about the new game, Castle Panic. This is a tower defense, semi-cooperative board game. It's easy to learn, fast-paced, and plays 1-6 players as people work together to defend the castle from the waves of baddies. This is great for a more complex bait game that would draw over your... more »

Internet Usage Policies for Internet Gaming on Public Computers
|
| |
We would like to offer Internet gaming, for the first time ever, in our Children's area. We have 6 computers that have had pre-packaged software games in the past. There has been a lot of concern expressed by our administrators and technology coordinator regarding this request to offer Internet gaming. We talked about having whitelists or blacklists for certain games, but that seems unmanageable. We want to make the computers as open as possible, without causing harm to the computers or the kids. Can anyone help me by directing me to library Web sites that have clear-cut policies for game-playing on public computers? Any guidance will be most welcome. Traci Juhala... more »
