The program is an attempt to add more entertainment to the libraries\u2019 catalogue. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe director agreed and we decided to do a pilot study and see what the reaction was going to be with visitors who came to the library and are given the opportunity to check out items they may not have typically seen in the past at the library,\u201d Velez said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The testing and feedback worked, as visitors to the library have praised the additions to the catalogue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFor students stressed by exams, these video games provided a cathartic escape,\u201d Samantha Duran, a 20-year-old literature major at Kendall Campus, said. She also believes the art and game design students will benefit by studying 3D models. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So far, the libraries carry more than a dozen games for Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4, Xbox 360, Wii U and Wii. The games range from 2017\u2019s massively successful <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdcthereporter.com\/new-era-nintendo-begins\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to 2016\u2019s popular <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overwatch. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the Hialeah Campus library, students can also play on consoles, such as the Nintendo Switch and Wii. The library plans to have the Playstation 4 and Xbox One available next fall. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Velez hopes to add more games in the future, using the feedback from students. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe have about a dozen games currently, but we\u2019re continually adding to the collection and taking suggestions from students for different titles we may not have at the moment,\u201d Velez said.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students can voice their opinions at a suggestion box located in the library at Kendall Campus, as well as directly speaking to a librarian.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI think this is something that is very important for libraries,\u201d said Angel Hernandez, an associate instructor for learning resources at Hialeah Campus. \u201cThey\u2019ve gone through changes over the years. We do a lot more things now. We\u2019re more than a library.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Video games have always played a large part of Velez\u2019s life. He believes it\u2019s important for students to play them to relax in between studies. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI grew up playing video games,\u201d Velez said. \u201cI feel that having video games at MDC gives a person the chance to take a break from their studies. I believe it helps promote good mental health and creativity and literacy in general by allowing people to take part in recreational activities, while at school and at home, that they enjoy doing.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more information, students can visit the Kendall Campus library in building 2 or the Hialeah Campus library in building 1. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Miami Dade College students can now rent their favorite video games from the libraries at the Kendall and Hialeah campuses.
