But the shame of it is we (collectively) relive our history and as a profession continue to try and bend public behavior to our will. How did you come across this, Aaron? Oh, isn’t this brilliant!

If you want evidence that they will use other library services while they're in the building, here you go! http://www.flickr.com/photos/lansinglibrary/194259322/ One boy off to the far right was sitting reading the latest Harry Potter book but had put it down when I got back with the camera. He's been reading his own personal copy all summer, and is about halfway through now. We had 3 great games afternoons this summer, and today was rainy, so we got a little bigger crowd than the past 2 sessions. Each session this summer though brought in different faces, and different faces than had come to our gaming afternoons last spring. If they ALL came on 1 day, we'd have close to 100 kids.
