The first session of our new Wii Sports for Seniors program was this past Monday, and it was a great success! Several patrons were enjoying an exciting bowling match when I stopped in the room to observe. Our next session will be this coming Monday, June 16 from 10:30 a.m. until noon. This program is ideal for those who love to golf but don't want to deal with the heat, or perhaps were bowlers but now arthritis keeps them from lifting the ball. You can stay active and learn to play Wii Sports in the cool comfort of the library.
Peters Township teen volunteers will walk participants through the use of the Wii-mote, a light-weight, motion-detecting controller that can be swung like a golf club, baseball bat, bowling ball or tennis racquet. Using the large plasma TV and Nintendo Wii in the new Teen Reading Room, seniors will be introduced to this fun, new concept in video gaming. Plans are to continue the informal sessions each Monday in June on the 16, 23, and 30 from 10:30 am to noon to acquaint patrons with playing Wii sports. With enough participation, the library hopes to start a bowling league or a golf tournament in the future months. Pre-register for this program at the library circulation desk or call 724-941-9430.
