The Weinberg Memorial Library will be hosting its second ever Library Gaming Night on Monday, April 12th.
Due to the success of the first gaming night held on Mardi Gras, we have decided to expand. This time there will be more gaming systems and more food.
All students are welcome to join us in the Heritage Room (5th floor) to Play Games, Eat Food, Enter our Raffle for Gift Cards, and/or just come to hang out with your friends.
Thank you all for making our first gaming night at the library a big success! Last night, at least 65 students came by the 5th floor Heritage Room to eat wings and pizza, and get their game on.
Super Smash Brothers was a big hit.
Games that got the most play include Super Smash Brothers and the Wii Fit — even the classic game Scattegories got in on the action.
There was also a raffle, which 67 students entered. There were three $10 Amazon gift cards awarded as prizes. The winners of the raffle drawing are:
Dan Parisi (Senior)
Devin Patel (Junior)
James Costello (Senior)
Winners will be notified via email of how and where to pick up your prizes.
We got enough positive feedback to know that gaming night is something we should do on a regular basis. So, we can all look forward to another gaming night in the library, since this one was such a hit.
But, by far, the best part of Mardi Gras at the Library was all of the *library love* we got from everyone who participated. Thanks for the great feedback guys, and we can’t wait for the next one!
Library Love (aw shucks :) )
(A special shout-out to the Center for Health and Education Wellness for lending us the games, and to our very own Bonnie Oldham and George Aulisio for planning this awesome event.

This Tuesday night (Feb 16) from 8pm to 11pm the Library will be hosting a gaming night for Scranton students.
"Come enjoy yourself at the Library on Tuesday Night, with me, Mario!"
Students will have the entire Heritage Room to themselves to kick back, socialize, eat, and play some games!
There will be three Wii consoles on three different televisions and students will have the option to play Mario Kart, Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games, Wii Fit, Wii Sports, and Rock Band. For those students who prefer classic gaming over video gaming there will also be various board games set up along the room.
Not yet intrigued?
What if the Library throws in Pizza, Wings, Soda, Chips, and Candy in the mix for you!
Still not enough?
OK, OK. How about three $10 Amazon gift cards that every student who shows up has a chance of winning regardless of one’s gaming skills?
We figured that would get your attention! See you at the Library!
