More Video Games on Library Shelves 33
Joystiq has the link to an update on a previous story we ran covering the efforts of a gentleman to add video games to library circulation stock. Since then, the program has really taken off, and Gaming Target has an update on how the project is going. From the article: "Circulation numbers have been brisk. With two week loan periods and late charges of only 25 cents a day, people are jumping at the chance to check out games, any game. I don't know why it's surprising, but people (adults and children, but mostly children) will pull stuff off the shelf and check it out without even looking at what game it is they're getting out."

If libraries start providing video games as well, I sure hope they have a way to protect the discs as much as possible and keep them running like new.

In other words, I doubt the game companies are fretting. If anything, it's free try-before-you-buy advertising.
