Launchpads


The Children's Department now has a selection of Launchpads available to be checked out!  They can be found on shelving above our Children's CDs across from the courtyard doors.

What are Launchpads?
Launchpads are tablets for children that are pre-loaded with education apps for interactive learning and play.

The Launchpads are grouped by age, grade level, subject area and theme.  Some subject areas include English language arts, math, science, language learning, critical thinking and creativity.  Themed learning packs include princesses, animals, transportation, dinosaurs, space and more.  


Ages 3-5, 5-7, 8-10, and 10+

*The Lauchpads are secure and do not have internet access, ensuring the child has no exposure to unintended content.

Stop by the Children's Reference desk and speak to a librarian if you have any questions or would like to try one out!
