Excerpt:
The Kenosha Public Library system hosted its first Wii Fest in April at Southwest Library. The event, the library system's first foray into video game programs, allowed people 12 and older to try out games on the Nintendo Wii.

The events feature games such as "Guitar Hero," where players strum a guitar-shaped controller, and "Dance Dance Revolution," which involves matching dance steps on a touch-sensitive mat.

Sue Siewert, public services manager for the Kenosha Public Library, said the events are intended to bring people together."

We're picking some games that would have appeal to older people as well," Siewert said. "This is all about getting the different generations to do something together. You're using technology, but it's a really fun thing. And sometimes the kids are training the adults on this."
