Video games can now be borrowed free of charge at the Victoria Avenue Library. We currently have about 80 to choose from in four formats - Xbox 360, Wii, Playstation 2 and Playstation 3. More are on order. Adult cards only can be used for a seven day loan period with a one week renewal if no one has placed a reserve. Only two games may be borrowed on one card.

Until a sizable collection is established, the collection consists mainly of educational, role playing, family-entertainment ...
