Texas Library Geeks Out with Consoles, Cosplay

By Dr. Eleanor Vance | Published on January 01, 0001

I’m 35, and “teen summer reading program” sounds only slightly more fun than “adopt a highway,” so, good luck firing up dafabet kids for that, right? Well, add cosplay and games and suddenly you’re talking. The mc888 40-plus strong of San Antonio’s Alamo Cosplay Troop are a regular act at the city’s Forest Hills library, which buttresses its geek cred with anime, manga, and yes, gaming – safe and prosocial, usually rhythm games, but games nonetheless. The library is focusing on the ends, not the means – namely, stoke youngsters’ imaginations and get them to enjoy being in a place dafabet of creativity and learning. If that means dressing up like Ash Ketchum, fine. Writes the San Antonio Express-News: If this sounds like an odd program for a library to put on, that’s because it is. But the program wasn’t effective when it focused solely on reading novels, [teen librarian Sylvia] mc888 Pachecano said. riches888pg “If you say to a teen, ‘Hey, let’s go to the library and read a book,’ they’re not going to want to come,” Pachecano said. “But if you say to them, ‘Hey, let’s go to the library and play video games,’ they’ll come. So the gaming and the arts and crafts gets them in here, and riches888pg then when they’re here they realize they have something they need to do, like a report or some homework.” Pachecano also said that many underprivileged young teens are dropped off at the library to spend whole days during the summer and the program gives them something to focus on while they’re there.

Some games are a bit laggy on my phone at times, but the variety of games and the smooth desktop experience make up for it. Overall, the website offers a great gaming experience for both casual and serious players.

Some games take a while to load on mobile, but once they start, the gameplay is smooth and exciting. I hope future updates improve mobile performance, but I still enjoy playing several hours a day.

The bonuses are nice and offer great value, although they could be a bit more frequent. I love being part of the VIP program, which gives me extra rewards and makes me feel appreciated as a loyal player.
