Library’s game to attract teen patrons :Portland adds video games and gaming get-togethers to keep young people coming back.

When I talk about gaming in the library, I’m often vague and quite hippie-ish with what I’m going for.  I need an editor for everything I do.  Luckily, the teens of Portland, ME are there to finish my sentences.

All summer, Max and Josh Tommer, ages 10 and 16, respectively, have been coming to game night, playing a board game called Settlers of Catan.

“I just wish this was our house,” Max said.

This is why we’re gaming in the library.
