I found an interesting blog via Google's Blog Search to spotlight here called Tame the Web. It immediately appealed to me because there was a guy on the front page playing Guitar Hero in the library. I think the immediate interest comes from the MTV generation that is embedded deep inside of me.
Here's a quote from the blog:

I’m the teen librarian at the Cape May County Library here in Cape May Court House, NJ.
I put together a “video games on tour at the library” event at our library that’s going on this week and so far it’s been really successful. We’ve had people of all ages coming out to test games at the library…it has been great!
Here are some photos! http://www.flickr.com/photos/capemaycountylibrary/
What a creative and refreshing way to use technology in the library! I know of at least ten kids who would not object to spending an afternoon at the library with this type of incentive. I might even be able to convince them to grab a book on the way out!
Actually, all of the reasons that the infusion of technology and the delivery of traditional library services appeal to can be found in this blog. I truly do see it as a way to reach library patrons where they are most comfortable - or at least where they will be most comfortable in the future.
