Video Games at MPL

The Martinsburg-Berkeley County Public Library system is happy to announce that we now have video games available for check-out to our patrons 18 years of age or older.

Our collection is starting out with 66 games, which span the Playstation 2, Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and Nintendo Wii platforms, and range in rating from E (Everyone) to M (Mature). Titles include: Mario Kart Wii, Kinect Adventures, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Call of Duty: Black Ops II, Halo 4, Assassin's Creed, Smackdown vs. Raw, and many more! Contact your local library for a complete list of games.

Because of the range of ratings, check-out of video games will be limited to patrons 18 years of age and older. Each check-out will be for one week. Additionally, check-out is currently limited to 2 games per adult library card. Finally, only patrons with a valid library card from the Martinsburg, Musselman, Naylor, or North Berkeley libraries will be able to place holds on video games. Those with valid library cards from Jefferson or Morgan counties need to place any requests for games through their local librarian.

Have some games you'd like to donate to the library? We are currently accepting any gently used games as donations, but they must include both disc and cartridge. No PC games and no games rated above M will be accepted, however.

Check the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) for game ratings and content to make informed choices about the various games available for check-out. Watch for upcoming gaming events in the library during the next few months, including International Games Day in November!
