Our summer days are filled with regular trips to the library.  Most of the time we're able to fill our canvas and reusable book bags to the brim with colorful reads, exciting chapter books, autobiographies about baseball stars and football stars, and even a few fun DVDs for the occasional movie day at home.

This week has been different.  It all began with my conversation with a friend about she and her daughter playing Zumba on Wii.  I've SO been wanting to take a class locally but wanted to get a taste of what to expect first.  So, on a whim, I thought I'd see if the local library happened to have  a copy to loan. 

Whaddya know??  They didn't!  But, they DID have a copy on PS3, so GO ME!

I immediately placed the online hold and then began looking for other available games for the kids.  We've been able to check out several other games for our Wii and Playstation 3 that the kids are enjoying.  These aren't games we'd normally buy (partly because we're Mario peeps for the most part) and the kids would likely grow tired of them fairly quickly.  That's what's so great about borrowing them from the library!  They get to play new games and then give them back and check out new ones!

So, this week make it a point to visit your local library or check their online catalog -  if they have one – for any titles available for your gaming system.  Have fun!

    We go to the library every Friday as a family, and it’s SO much fun to find new books, movies, and video games! Libraries are such an amazing treasure trove. Always something new and exciting!!

    that’s neat! I used to check out videos on other places from around the world. I didn’t realize that they might have games to check out, too!
