Brawl in the Library

By: Mr. Wilson on December 15, 2009
I'm a little surprised more Lincolnites don't get worked up over events like this:
Mario Kart BRAWL Tournament Students in grades 6-12 are invited to come to Walt Branch Library on Tuesday, December 15, 2009, from 3:30 to 5:00 PM to show your skills playing against other teens for PRIZES!
Doesn't that seem like the sort of thing that would get certain populations in a lather? A video game tournament isn't exactly a traditional city library activity, and "BRAWL" just sounds so violent! And yet I can't remember hearing anybody complain or seeing any astonished letters to the editor or anything. It must be difficult to be a librarian these days.

You can check out Wii games at the library, too.

Some populations do get pretty bent out of shape about it, but others are just happy kids are still going to the library (a lot of them leave with a book in hand).

I wonder if I could still pass for a 12th grader…

I think they need to have a Mario Kart BRAWL for adults!  I’d so rock that tourny!

They might actually do that.

Sounds cliche, but if kids are in the Library playing video games, that means they are not doing other, less legal activities.

All for it. Sure they may not be reading or doing homework, but sometimes kids forget how to have some good clean fun!
