Rockin Librarians

Well I'm back from a few days at Kohler Spa in Wisconsin and catching up on my emails. My friend Lisa (a fellow librarian) sent me the link below about a group of librarians who are in a bit of trouble for playing Rock Band at their library.
Many libraries are using game systems like Nintendo and Wii to attract younger patrons and I know when our library has hosted Wii days during our reading programs, they are a big hit with patrons and staff.

Wii Have a...

So now that our basement remodel is almost complete (still waiting for the marble counter for the bar) we are escaping from the heat and having a great time playing with all of our new toys. My favorite new game system is the Wii and specifically Wii Sports with bowling and tennis. So far everytime we have guests over we end up downstairs playing some silly Wii game and have completely ignored the pool table and ping pong.
My friend Steve showed us a hysterical website about the dangers of playing the Wii, specifically all the things that can break during rowdy games. Check out the website Wii Have A Problem at:

My favorite is the guy who threw the Wiimote through his skyscraper window.
