Jenny Levine reports on the good times had by librarians at the "Gaming@YourLibrary" presentation. I've always thought that videogames have a place in libraries, and The Shifted Librarian is making it happen (Gaming @ Your Library Sessions Blogged!). See also, Gaming Photos Up on Flickr.

Several people told me that they hadn't expected to enjoy themselves so much, and that you truly don't understand gaming until you experience it yourself. You haven't lived until you've seen a roomful of librarians competing against each other in Mario Kart and DDR! In fact, several people stayed after the second session ended just to keep playing (and I think Dan B. probably stopped to purchase a PlayStation and DDR package on his way home!). We even had a few extra minutes to let some of our staff play, including our executive director, Alice Calabrese!
