We are excited to announce a new collection of Playaway Launchpads available for our patrons to borrow! These are durable tablets preloaded with an assortment of educational games and digital storybooks, aimed at preschoolers, and kids in grades K-2 and grades 3-5. Many have games to help with math skills, problem solving, language arts, and STEAM topics.
Patrons with accounts in good standing can borrow a Launchpad for periods of 7 days. Only one at a time per family, please! As with everything else in our collection, Launchpads will be quarantined for at least 3 days after they are returned. We also will wipe them down and make sure they are fully charged before being put back in circulation for the next borrower.
This collection was made possible by a donation from ASTM, International.
