Given how little libraries advertise, this is something that I found recently. Like many, I missed being able to easily/quickly rent games via Blockbuster. But, it turns out many librarians keep up with modern preferences and keep quite a few games for checkout. Even when the one closest library doesn’t have something I want, it’s often available in the others on the network.

Especially as Nintendo lifts their prices to $80, this may be something to seriously consider for people that have felt burned just two days into playing a game that isn’t as fun as it looked in trailers.

    It sounds like Nintendo games would really be the preference for librarians.

    • They stay at high price so many patrons will want them
    • They’re often kid friendly; and part of a library’s goal is giving kids a destination
    • The console they’re designed for can be carried to the library
    • The media is resilient to damage or being faked
