For a day, ‘game on’ beats library’s quiet

Times Union – “Today, though, the teens are playing Yu-Gi-Oh (pronounced You-Ge-O) at Schenectady’s Mont Pleasant library as part of National Gaming Day, a three-hour event where libraries across the country compete simultaneously. Video games are the program’s primary focus, but card and board varieties are also part of the day. Nearly all of the gamers at Mont Pleasant, one of about a half-dozen local participating libraries, opt for the games that don’t require a screen or a joystick. At the moment, the kids on computers care more about MySpace and YouTube than Sonic or games off of Nickelodeon.com.”
