Teen Programming Question (Danielle Fox)
by aldenlib＠torchlake.com 31 Jan '17

31 Jan '17

Danielle, My library had several videogame tournaments in past summers. We passed the following policy, which worked well: Any patron 17 years of age or older may participate in M-rated gaming. Those under 17 must be accompanied by a guardian to participate or have the guardian give verbal permission on the day of the event to the event planner. All M-rated gaming will be held in a room separate from family-appropriate video games. AO (Adult Only) games are prohibited. Susan Riegler, Director Alden District Library Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2017 12:01:06 -0500 From: Danielle Fox <dfoxhollylibrary(a)gmail.com> To: michlib-l(a)mcls.org Subject: [Michlib-l] Teen Programming Question Message-ID: <CALVLqs3TNynz+jEJTGhN-SwE1dgOqRm0ms=01vkCP7-txbXDmg(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Good afternoon, I am currently working on adding a few teen programs at the Holly Township Library. One thing I would like to start doing is having a monthly video game club. The idea is that we will have a few different consoles and games available for those ages 13-18 to play. Some of the games will be provided but, I also want to allow them to bring in their own, as we don't have a large number of our own. Now my question is how much should I worry about video game ratings? I know many popular games are rated M. I don't really want to restrict these but, at the same time I don't want to get angry phone calls from parents either. If your library currently has video game programs how do you deal with this issue? Any advice or suggestions are appreciated. Thank you, Danielle Fox Adult Services Manager Holly Township Library 1116 N. Saginaw St. Holly, MI 48442 (248) 634-1754
