Wii Gaming at the Racine Public Library

The Racine Public Library, 75 Seventh St., invites adults and teens ages 11-17 to the bi-monthly Wii gaming days offered for free.

Adult game days are held on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month from 10 am to 12 pm. These free events are for players of all levels and beginners are encouraged to attend. Library staff is on hand to help participants become acquainted with the Wii console, controllers and games. Participants will have the chance to try their hand at Wii Sport games like bowling, tennis, golf and more. Drop-in visitors are welcome.

Teen Wii game days are being held on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays in September from 1:30-4:30 pm. Youth ages 11-17 may participate in open gaming or tournament play. Participants in tournament play are competing to represent the library in a regional library tournament to be held in November. Gaming is available in Wii Play, Wii Sport, Super Smash Brothers, and Guitar Hero. Library staff will be on hand to help players navigate the system and learn gaming techniques if needed. PSII open gaming is available as well. Time slots for gaming are available on a first come/first served basis. Registration begins at 1:30 p.m. Wii gaming events are free.

For questions about the Wii gaming participants should call the library at 262.636.9245. The purchase of the Wii Gaming equipment was made possible through a Library Services and Technology Act grant awarded to several Southeastern Wisconsin Library systems.
