Library hosts “Geek Week” to encourage young patrons
KAMLOOPS — The Kamloops Library is hoping to bring in a younger crowd during “Geek Week.”
The target crowd is 18-30 year-olds. The TNRD Library System’s head of adult services Catherine Schmidt says the goal is to show young people that the library is not just a place for studying in silence.
“The library is a fun place to be, not just for learning and studying, which they may be used to from their days in university,” Schmidt said, “but it’s now a fun place where they can get their DVDs, they can get their video games, and they can do programs like our scavenger hunts, and our craft programs and things like that.”
