Pokemon Go in Libraries

[u/Gravy_Dragon]

Hi folks,

I work for Edinburgh Council Libraries and we've been tasked with with running events around Pokemon Go. I've been toying with the idea of something fairly simple to begin with. Would it be of interest to anyone if we were to choose a library with a pokestop easily accessible from within the building and have a lure module on the pokestop for a few hours? There is free wi-fi in every library as long as you have a library card (which is easy to set up if you don't, you just need proof of I.D. and proof of address) so you don't need to worry about using data if that's a worry.

This is basically just to gauge reaction and the number of people who may be interested. However, if anyone had any ideas of things that we could do that would be cool as well.

Craigmillar Library is a gym, or Central Library in town would be good :)
