I don’t think my library has video games. I usually only go for the books and dvds.

Check to see if your library is part of a library system such as BCCLS, LMxAC, MAIN, or PALS Plus. If they are, then then can very easily request those materials from their partner libraries. Also, many libraries can place special requests for materials from other libraries in the state or the rest of the country through interlibrary loan (ILL).

The one near me in Monmouth County doesn't have video games, but Ocean County ones do. Thankfully there is some program where you go get a card for the other counties system if you have one in yours.

I love having access to more/different books from both, but the video games alone has been a big money saver. I've gotten to scratch the itch for some games I just want to play but not worth the price tag for the amount I'll play (like Madden, NBA2k, etc.). and games my son sees and really wants to try.
