It is a dedicated gaming computer that will allow you to play a wide variety of video games; whether you were hoping to try them out before buying or if you had an extra hour downtown and you wanted to pick up a controller (or two).
The station is located in the Commons area near the beginning of our Young Adult collection on the second floor of the Downtown Library. Use a Guest Pass or your library card to log in and play. A new game will be featured every month. Currently available games include:
