Dance your fines away
A while ago, I came across a blurb about a librarian who waived the fines of patrons who agreed to play Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) against her on The Shifted Librarian. She recently updated that information to include new information about a program at the Wadleigh Memorial Library in Milford, NH. They allowed people to dance away late fees during their annual Patron Appreciation Day at the library. Read the full article at TelegraphNeighbors.com.
In case you didn't know or have forgotten, OWLS has gaming equipment available for member libraries to reserve and use for library programs. Maybe you'd like to use it for your next Patron Appreciation Day at your library?
What do you think? Would this fly at your library? Does it give you ideas for other ways to use gaming in your library?

I would love to do this. I would love to make everyone on our staff compete!
If you do this, Maggie, I'll be sure to rack up a bunch of fines at your library, so I can come and play, too! :)
OK Beth - you're on! Why don't we practice on the bus ride to PLA? Aren't you the library user who keeps bringing back those empty DVD cases? Hmmmm, I'm sure you must owe us bigtime fines by now....
