Libraries are amazing – full of books, and full of people who love books. But libraries offer even more than books – for instance, did you know we have a wide range of popular video games available to borrow? Re-visit a title you haven’t played in a while, or check out a new title you’ve been interested in, but haven’t wanted to commit to buying! The library offers an excellent way to sample a wide range of video game titles, without the hefty price tag if you were to purchase them outright.
Visit the Games & Gaming page to browse through carefully selected staff lists to find a game you might not have heard of in a genre you love. And the Games & Gaming page has the collection organized into systems like Nintendo, PlayStation and Xbox, so finding the right game for your console will be a cinch.
