1) I read both the New York Times article and the Shifted librarian article.
2) I did the reference game on the Carnegie Mellon University Libraries' website. It was harder than I expected because it took awhile to figure out what I was supposed to do. In the meantime, the patrons were fuming, and some of them stomped out before I could help them. It was fun to play.
3) I do agree that games belong in a library if a library system chooses to go that route. Since so many public libraries have them, I do think it will continue to grow and evolve. It is a good way to bring young people in the library, and perhaps some of them will also discover the joy of reading books.
