Libraries - have role as community conectors and community builders

The Hartsville Memorial Library is reaching beyond its normal services to add some gaming opportunities for teenagers -- whose major complain is often "there is nothing to do."  Here is something to do:

Saturday, July 20th

Hartsville Memorial Library
Teens in Hartsville will meet from 10:30am - 1:30pm for X-Box and Wii games. Ages 12-19
FREE Pizza!For more information call 332-5115 and ask for Lori Strickland.

CONGRATULATIONS  to the library for this idea.

Urge teens to attend. After all, this is something many of them like to do. I remember last August when I was at Coker on a Friday night about 8 p.m. and started hearing students coming into the Science Building. They were there to play some computer games -- sponsored by the Math Club but focused on Call of Duty. They were still there when I left about 9:30 - so this sounds like a great idea and a great way for the library to exert community leadership and expand connections.
