I’ve noticed that libraries sometimes have board games, but I have never seen video games. The main purpose of libraries is to give the public access to culture. So music, movies and TV shows can be borrowed as optical discs. But why not video games?

I suppose we might figure that some parents would worry that they make an effort to get their kids into the library then games win a competition with education and literature.

But as an adult, I seem to be missing out on a significant bit of culture by being out of touch with recent video games. I’m not going to pay the price of buying gaming systems and games just to get some one-off experiences. I would like to experience a game for 1 week then move on to the next.
