<p class="MsoNormal">Similar to what others have said, LWTech has a small selection of “traditional” tabletop games, including a couple more recent ones. We get about 0 circulation of these despite consistent advertising. It seems like the majority of students
who game to destress are doing so with digital games.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On a side note, this past quarter we created our third library for the Game Development program, which circulates digital games for a variety of platforms, as well as consoles, to students in that program. If you’d like to learn more about
that, feel free to reach out.<o:p></o:p></p>

The Vet Tech instructor has created games for her students to check out to learn certain concepts, but they are on reserve for Vet Tech students only.
