PokemonGo idea - great for kids & ya

I wasn't sure exactly where to put this, but last night while reading my personal Twitter feed I came across an idea a librarian in another city/system had to stay on top of the PokémonGo craze. It is at https://twitter.com/PokemonGoNews/status/755844767875948544 - basically they created pins, members can earn so many pins per week, and certain tasks (such as "tell Librarian Gayle about your favorite book" or "Catch a Pokémon in the library, either by drawing one or taking a picture in PokémonGo" earned you those pins. I thought it was quite clever and something our children's or young adult librarians might want to do. Some adult librarians may be interested as well, though the tasks would have to change - but from what I can tell, a lot of the PokemonGo demographic are in their 20s and 30s.

I just love seeing so many people of all ages getting involved in this!

Thank you Marna! Forgot about Emily posting that. I'd like to see some of those ideas get out there while this is going strong.
