AWE Computer Stations
We have 2 computers that are bilingual Spanish computers for ages 2 - 10 years old.
Games,stories and other educational programs are on these AWEsome computers.
There is also a child safety internet browser that you can install on your home computer available. This browser is designed to help your child find safe, child-friendly programs without the parent/caregiver having to worry about what content your child is viewing.
Book Tree
We have a tree that holds book kits that come in backpacks for check out. Lots of the new kits have puppets or stuffed animals inside.
Cubbie Toys
Each cubby has a different toy to offer your child. Play develops muscle dexterity, hand-eye coordination, cooperative play and readiness for reading. Cubbie contents are switched out on a regular basis, so suprises await each time you come to the library!
Cubbies are organized by age and color:
- Blue Bins: Ages birth - 2 years
- Yellow Bins: Ages 2-3 years
- Red Bins: Ages 4 + years
