Benefits of gaming?: Games may seem purely recreational, but the benefits of games are recognized by and celebrated at libraries, and even encouraged by the American Library Association (check out their “Games in Libraries” blog).  Those benefits include education, recreation, sportsmanship, problem solving, and strategy.  Role-playing games allow players to collaboratively use their imagination to tell stories.  Games can bring together different age groups, forcing you to put down electronic devices while creating memories and traditions.
