Promotional Video!


We are looking for actors…

We here at the Cape May County Library are working on a video project for the New Jersey State Library and the New Jersey Library Association. Our task is to make a three minute promotional video. We've decided to promote video games in libraries.

We are looking for anyone interested in taking on the role of people playing games; the same thing that people who come to our Game Night do so well just about every week. If anyone is interested we will have some forms for you to have your parents or guardians to sign at the next Game Night as well as at the main desk. Parents are welcome to take part in the video too.
We will be giving more information on when we will be filming after we get an idea of how many of you will be helping out.

If your parents have any questions or concerns regarding the project, they can contact the Technology Librarian, Lisa Marie, at 609.463.6380.

April 10th, 17th, and 18th!

I've got good news, and I've got bad news, gaming fanatics. On Friday, April 10th, the Cape May County Library will be closed while observing Good Friday...so that means no Game Night this Friday... Nothing we can do about that one, folks.

However...there's a glimmer of hope in the future! On Saturday, April 18th, we'll be hosting our first ever...

Street Fighter IV Tournament!

Ladies and gentlemen, this game is EPIC. If you were a fan of Street Fighter II or just love balanced, impressive-looking fighting games, you've got to compete in our first of probably many Street Fighter IV tournaments to come. Prizes will be given to first, second, and third place winners, and there's no cost to compete! Just bring your game (as in skills, not the actual game!), pick your fighter, and let the battle commence.

Just check out these sweet screenshots! Click on any of the images below to see a larger version.

















So yeah...it's going to be epic, and you should definitely attend. This does mean, however, that there's no Game Night next Friday, April 17th either...but a tournament's just as fun. As usual, we'll be running the rest of our normal Game Night games before and after the tournament. No sign-ups are required, but there is a limit of 32 participants, so show up on Saturday and we'll start making up the brackets.

Sorry for the lack of updates lately, too, but your Game Night Crew's been really busy trying to provide the best programs we can for you! Stay tuned for more updates.
