Doing a quick seach for "DVD" on that Tacoma library's catalog, turned up 8500 hits...(no video games that I could see, though)
Better yet, since so many people use Libraries as video rental places, stop renting them and put a couple Red Box machines in front.

BUT are those items actually bringing in a profit? Our library has had a record, as in vinyl, section since the 60s and nobody whined and moaned about it then. Now video games, some can actually be educational but shoot 'em up and hack apart the leftovers must not be in the mix. Same for most other entertainment video games, then again, maybe they belong of they do tell a story.
What about audiobooks?
I just feel anything to get people into the library is fine. I do like the Red Box idea though. That would be super for videos!
