Thing 15 Online Games and Libraries

Virtual gaming is definitely very popular today. I can see many people using Second Life. The virtual tour is very helpful in getting started. It takes a while to figure out where you should go, etc. There is a lot of potential for utilizing the virtual gaming community in the library. It may be what's needed to reach certain people who may not visit the library. With high speed internet libraries are able to provide the services for online virtual gaming. This is one way for people to experience the services of a library in the virtual world. I think there are so many games already I would not want to single out any by supporting one in particular. Runescape members continue to visit the library to play online.
