Thing 15 - Online Games

I had fun playing a little bit of pirates. Didn't have a lot of communication going, but maybe part of that was due to being at an entry level. I know this game will not have any use in my media center, as you have to be 13 to play, and our students are 12 and under. I looked a little bit at Second Life, but again, it's not for my students so I didn't want to spend too much time there.

Truthfully, I didn't see any reason to have Pirates at any library. Is it just to bring them in so they at least get through the door? I don't really want to see libraries become a place just to play games - people get enough of that without us. I can see much more use for something like Second Life, especially the Infoisland, but again, that will be for a different group than I am currently working with.
