Games can be a powerful tool for learning in libraries. By approaching games as we would any other format of instructional resource, we can begin to find connections between games and our standards.

Most of these games are only available in dedicated game stores, but you can also purchase them online (even with a purchase order) at http://funagain.com. Learn more about games in school libraries at The Game Library of the School Library System of Genesee Valley BOCES.
