Starting Sunday, we can now check out video games at the library. The Pikes Peak Library District offers games for the Wii, XBox 360 and PlayStation.

This could be a real money-saver for lots of families, especially for Donna Darrow, a mother of an 11-year-old. “Considering how expensive these games are... I'm on a fixed income. My son now gets a chance to play them and get the same experience as kids who can afford them," said Darrow.

All you need is a library card to check-out a game and you can borrow it for a week. You’re allowed to renew it twice. The late fee is $0.25/day.

The library has all sorts of games to choose from, but has opted not to carry mature games.

While it’s a place for books, the library says video games can help kids with reading and problem solving skills. That's why one Colorado Springs father checked out a game called “Big Brain Academy” for his 6-year-old daughter. "I'm a teacher and the reason I’m here is that it's the 21st Century and video games now engage kids in learning," said Phillip Hutcherson.
