Canadian Libraries Want $300,000 To Buy Games
AirborneGamer writes "The Toronto Public Library is asking for $300K to build up a collection of video games. They have not said if they will buy all types of games, or leave out the M-rated ones. As the City Councilor of Toronto said about the project, 'It may be the only time a young person comes in. It can act as a magnet to attract people. Once we get them in there, you can be darn sure that our librarians will be hard at work to introduce them to everything else the library can offer.' This is a good plan actually, and besides bringing kids into the library it will bring in parents and or guardians who otherwise may not visit the library on their own."
... You mean "Go Toronto!"...
And no one in Canada who isn't from Toronto likes Toronto. They suck because they do everything right, while the rest of us have to sit around in our backwater provinces screaming at our MLA and city counselors to start doing what Toronto is doing. For once I'd like to see some other city in another province do something right... Ok well B.C. deserves some credit for the Olympics despite the weather.
Olympics? It would be nice if Canada would never again bid for the Failympics.
