A reader has asked if I know of any libraries offering brain fitness games (such as Brain Age) for baby boomers and seniors. Actually, the question is broader to include any games that assist in improving memory and aiding cognitive function.

I don't know of any offering this as its own focus (or circulating the Nintendo DS handheld device that games such as BA would require) - do you? Anyone providing access to sites like BrainBuilder?

She's also interested in any libraries offering gaming for older adults in general, as opposed to other age groups. I did tell her that the Public Library of Charlotte & Mecklenburg County got a LSTA grant last year to implement and study gaming for adults, but is anyone else targeting gaming at this audience?

Tangent: Martin House and Mark Engelbrecht from PLCMC will be discussing that LSTA grant and their findings at the TechSource Gaming, Learning, and Libraries Symposium in July.
