I get brand spanking new ps5 stuff from the library. Put it on hold from your phone while you’re bored on the couch and go pick it up when they shoot u a text.

That being said there’s a place here in Shrewsbury on main st about halfway between the library and dean park that has second-hand games. It’s called Lady Mo’s Attic Treasures but I haven’t been in there yet.

I second this! I will say though, if you are looking for switch games, I didn’t see any the last time I was at the library.

WPL definitely has Switch games. They've always been in an easy to miss spot, though and I think they moved a bunch of them to the Children's Room after the renovation, so it might be a good idea to ask the staff to see if they have what you're looking for and where it is.

Yeah, splitting up the game collection was never a decision that made sense to me. Especially since so many of your most popular Switch titles end up catalogued as children's games because they're rated E and targeted at all audiences.

Again...full grown man .. "excuse me do you have animal farm or Pokemon ". Can we go to the behind a current method like the adult films back in the day. Needs just walking out with discret packages lol.

Better yet!!! I'll roll reverse!! I'll send in my child to get the game I want and I'll be outside waiting with shades on!!

U can go online, search the catalog by switch titles, and they are pleased to set them aside for you, even transporting them from the other libraries in the system.

This is what I was going to suggest. My local branch has about 10 video games (nothing newer than WiiU), but my kids will request games and get them from all over the CW/MARS system.

Never heard about Lady Mo's but definitely going to check it out

Checked it out. It's cool! But I wouldn't say better than That's E. They have a $5 game section with basically what you'd expect but besides that their prices are close to or higher than That's E. Still a cool place though and the employees are helpful

Thanks for the update! Bummer that their prices are higher than that's E though, but I'll still check it out.
