If my goal was to reach and move the reachable anti-gaming forces - talking to a bunch of small town librarians about games and getting this good a response feels like the most influential thing I've done as GamerDad. My speech was much better suited to the MLA audience. Anyway, update tomorrow probably! Paul,

Libraries are already in a position of looking for ways to get more kids reading, so while they might be pre-disposed against video games in terms of enhancing literacy on their own, I think there is a great argument to be made that there is a definite place for video games in the balanced life of a well-rounded kid.
