Gaming Club levels up with Wii U!

I'm excited to announce that Sellers Library now has a Wii U! Starting with today's gaming club, we'll have the Wii U hooked up to our big screen projector. Right now we have a copy of the multiplayer title Nintendo Land, which has minigames for up to 5 players. We'll of course be adding games like Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros to our lineup when they come out. If you're signed up for gaming club at Sellers, come in and try out the new system today!

Generation Next Gaming Club starts Thursday

The new Gaming Club geared towards 18-29 year-olds will be starting this Thursday, June 6, from 5:30 to 7:00 pm. If you're in the current gaming club and a high school graduate, you're automatically on the list for the Generation Next Gaming Club. Once the Generation Next club starts meeting, I'll be asking all gaming club members that are high school grads to please meet at that one instead of Monday's club. In the case that you're 18 and still in high school, you can choose to attend one club or the other (but not both). If you have any questions about the gaming clubs, feel free to shoot me an email or come talk to me!

Yu-Gi-Oh! Gaming Club

Thai has been asking us for a Yu-Gi-Oh! event for ages. So, finally the librarians told him that he should write a proposal. The proposal was amazing, so we decided to create the gaming club as a summer activity. It meets every Friday from 4:00-5:30 and currently has about 30 members. Gretchen is technically the librarian in charge, but Thai is the instructor. He teaches new card combinations, strategies, and tournament rules. We are planning a mini-tournament at the end of the summer for the participants. If the summer schedule is successful, we will continue the club into the school year and possibly mount some real tornaments.

If you would like to join the Yu-Gi-Oh! Gaming Club, please contact Sellers Library at 610-789-4440. You must have a signed permission slip on file with the library before participating.
