SAN FRANCISCO – Sept. XX, 2008 – Libraries can now offer consumers the chance to play some of the best casual and education games during their library visit.

The Columbus (Ohio) Metropolitan and the Lee County (Florida) libraries have already installed Exent Technologies’ “Family Play Pack” games service, which requires only a broadband connection. Local users have access to more than 250 safe, family-friendly titles such as Zoo Tycoon, Arthur’s Math Games, Clifford Phonics, and Grand Master Chess during regular library hours.

The two libraries have found they are saving money by eliminating the cost of purchasing individual titles. Staff no longer has to check out and retrieve game CDs borrowed from a desk. Exent provides tech support, releasing local IT personnel from more critical responsiblities.

“The Exent Games-on-Demand package has been a wonderful addition to the services we offer our patrons,” Robin Nesbitt, technical services director, Columbus Metropolitan Library, says. “Library patrons ask for more and more every year and budgets are always tight. Exent helps us provide great content while keeping our costs low.”

Every game in the Exent library package is rated and reviewed to ensure all content is age-appropriate, non-violent, and kid-friendly. Most titles are rated E for Everyone by the independent ESRB (Entertainment Software Rating Board).

“Libraries are a great location for learning through entertainment. Our Family Play Pack is a cost-effective way for libraries or other public institutions to offer a vast selection of family-friendly games with low cost and overhead,” said Scott McDaniel, CMO, Exent Technologies. “Tiered library pricing plans tied to the number of computers running the service allows small and large libraries alike to participate.”
