Gaming @ Older Adults

[Kleiman]

Hi--

For some upcoming workshops and research, I am developing a list of
libraries that have been gaming or plan to game with baby boomers,
older adults and the elderly.

I am also looking to try and locate libraries outside of the US and
Canada, too. If anyone has any possible suggestions and names of
Gaming contacts in these areas--it would be most helpful.

Later this month I am making a presentation at the Croatian Library
Association and would like to "point" to some European libraries doing
gaming with their "senior" age groups.

Thanks,
--Allan

We are gaming with older adults for the first time this weekend. Our
program is called "Wii got game? do you?" and we will be bowling and
playing tennis. This was highly requested by our patrons so when the
Friends group helped my TAG purchase the Wii console, they asked the
kids to host an event the same day as the used Book Sale. So we will
see how it goes but buzz is good.

I'd be interested in seeing how this goes for you. Our Friends group
just asked us at the meeting on Tuesday when do they get a turn!
