X-Box nights
When the Gromets were first established, we asked them what sort of activities they wanted to have and what would make the library a more 'cool' place to hang out. One thing they all agreed on was holding X-Box nights.
It sounded like a strange idea, especially considering no-one above a certain age even knows what an X-Box is.
However, after some research- an X-Box is something that can be plugged into a TV to enable 1-4 people to play video games on the TV- the idea sounded a little more reasonable. So now, after having a projector added to the reference area, the kids will be able to organise X-Box nights that allow up to 8 people to play against each other.
But of course the projector can be used for more than just kids games. If anyone has photographs or slide shows they wish to show others members of their organisation, they are welcome to talk to the library staff. For example the Field Naturalists Club has already expressed interest in using it to show others, pictures of recent trips.
