Target: Using Internet in the library

[Rhonda Amstutz <rhondaamstutz@YAHOO.COM>]

We just got two computers connected to the internet in
the library ( I know we are a little behind, but we
are getting there ;)  )

I named each computer ( Bill & Charley)  and put out
sign up sheets for each.  Students come in and sign in
for computer time.

My question is this:  Do you allow students to use
library computers to play video games available on the
web?  or must their "search" be school related or
otherwise "instructional".  I have debated over this
idea becuase we do have all kinds of "fun" books...not
instructional BUT  it frustrates me when the same kids
takes up valuable computer time to play games when
others may be waiting for their turn to look up
something "important"

Waiting for your feedback,
