Using the Gaming Consoles

MCLS offers a variety of gaming consoles for use at the library. By offering access to a variety of video game consoles, the Martin County Library System supports age-appropriate digital literacy development, while also fostering skills such as communication, leadership, problem-solving, conflict resolution, empathy, and imagination. 

Gaming, particularly in a group setting, provides engaging and educational experiences for patrons, fostering creativity, social connections, and a love for learning via interactive and immersive activities.
