Gaming @ the Library

Last Thursday, July 18, about ten teens and I set up the Nintendo Wii in the large community room and played Super Smash Brothers and Mario Kart.  Everyone jumped right in and had a great time.  We are getting a great core group of teens that show up regularly to our activities.  Perhaps sometime soon we can finally organize a youth advisory board, and build an effective space for our teens within the library

Angry Birds |Life Size| at the Aurora Central Library

 

After discovering that the pigs had stolen our birds' eggs, twenty kids vented their angry by throwing birds at a life size pig fort.  The kids took turns clobbering the fort with angry bird balls.  In between turns, they had the chance to reconstruct the fort, making it increasingly difficult for anyone trying to knock a big down.  While it was ruthless at times, they seemed to enjoy the activity. 

 

 

 

In addition to having the life size game, we had Angry Birds Space set up on the projector.  Kids were able to pick up a controller and show off their puzzle solving skills on a giant screen.
