Gotta catch ‘em all at Shropshire Libraries

With the PokemonGo phenomenon sweeping the globe, Shropshire Libraries are welcoming gamers across the county.

Pokemon can be found in amongst the bookshelves in many of the county libraries, and with free wi-fi in all branches gamers are encouraged to drop in and see what they can find. Some libraries have been designated as Pokestops, and others as Pokegyms where Pokemon can be caught and trained.

Michael Lewis, head of libraries, commented:-

“Libraries have always been welcoming open spaces for all the community and we are very pleased that the Pokemon community think so too. We look forward to a summer of Pokemon challenges, and perhaps gamers might like to take on our ‘Big Summer of Reading’ challenge at the same time.”

Not all libraries have reported finding Pokemon yet, although one did report finding two pigeons and a bumble bee.
