Librarians love books and gaming!

I am a big reader and slowly becoming a fan of gaming. I love to see professionals supporting gaming as a useful to encourage reading and other good habits.

A recent study by the American Library Association revealed that many librarians already use games to attract young people and, ideally, get them interested in books. “I love the gaming aspect of The 39 Clues,” says Jenny Levine, a digital specialist for the library association. “I could also see a lot of libraries forming '39 Clues’ clubs the way they’ve had Pokemon clubs.”

Now that is an endorsement!
