Abstract
This summer you should play some video games to get ready for the upcoming school year. Games aren’t just for young males and have tremendous potential to enhance 21st-century literacies, including critical-thinking and problem-solving skills. Playing games will not only help you see how these skills can be developed, but also give you a shared experience that can lead to deeper interactions with your patrons.
