Gaming on PDC Day
February 12th marked the annual MICDS Faculty Professional Day that gives students in all grades a day off school and faculty a day to meet and learn with colleagues. Between meetings, faculty and staff had a 90 minute break and were able to choose from a variety of PDC-sponsored activities, including a demonstration of the gaming capabilities built into the new Messing Library floor plan.The main question in the library that day: "Why Wiis in the library?" The answer: The library was designed to provide the opportunity for programming beyond the school day. One of these planned opportunities was the use of 5 Nintendo Wiis for community gaming events. Wii events in Messing Library use only games that require collaboration between individuals or groups and are designed to drive foot traffic into the physical library space and online traffic to the virtual library space (www.raminfo.org).
Library users can become familiar with library resources in many ways... one is through extracurricular community events that familiarize users with library spaces (both physical and virtual).
