(Dreaming About) Appropriate Libraries Games
January 14th, 2010
This is bizarre: a little while ago I dreamed about telling an a adult patron he was being too loud in the library, because he was playing Marco Polo with his kids to entertain them. He yelled back, asking me what I expected him to do.
I went to the reference desk to review our games policy (this is a dream remember, so it made perfect sense at the time). It didn’t mention specific games, so I sat down with my director and came up with a list of games that he could and couldn’t play in the library:
|
Approved Games: I Spy Hide and Seek Cards Board Games Puzzles Button, Button, Who’s Got the Button? Thumb Wrestling Sandman |
Unapproved Games: Marco Polo Tag Red Rover Red Light, Green light Duck Duck Goose King of the Mountain |
I remembered the dream when I woke up, so quickly wrote down the games I could recall. How sad that I dream about things like this.
However, it also reminds me of Library Mini Golf, which I think is a great idea. I also still like the idea of having tournaments for any number of video games (which, oddly, didn’t make my dream list).
