Tompkins County Public Library is expanding its collection with a new video game pilot program. This new program, made possible with the support of the Tompkins County Public Library Foundation, adds games for three current generation console systems: Nintendo Switch, Sony PlayStation 5, and Microsoft Xbox Series X.

Games available: 

During the initial phase of the pilot, these games are available on the Library of Things shelves, just inside the main entrance. To check out a game, you can place a hold by clicking on a title above, or you can take one of the cases from the Library of Things shelves to the Howard P. Hartnett Circulation Desk. Right now, checkouts are limited only to TCPL cardholders.

Borrowing for each game follows the Media portion of our Card and Lending Guidelines Policy which allows borrowing for up to three weeks, with two renewals (provided no one else has placed a hold).

TCPL also has a limited number of games available for older generation consoles including the Nintendo Wii, Sony PlayStation 3, and Microsoft Xbox 360.
