For the fall, we plan to mix things up a bit. We will still offer some of the favorites at each event, like Smash Brothers, MarioKart, and Guitar Hero; but we are also going to try a few new games. For the tweens (3-6 graders), we are going to have a Tony Hawk Ride event with game and skateboard. In November, we will have a Pokemon event, and for December we will be holding a Wipeout/Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? tournament. This is a great one to bring the entire family to.
For teens we will be holding a Smash Brothers event November; and as part of National Gaming Day in Libraries, the winners will play opponents from other libraries around the country. In December, it's Forza time. Get ready to show off your racing moves. We might have a few other racing games on hand as well.
Stay tuned for more information about October. We might be offering a game that many of you have been asking for.

A big thanks goes out to all of the gamers who attended our events this summer. For the tweens, we had a carnival themed event to tie in with summer reading. In July we held a Pokemon event, which had great turnout and was a lot of fun.
For the teens we held a Smash Brothers event to help you keep your skills up over the summer. In July a Beatles Rockband competition took place, which everyone who attended enjoyed.
