Subscribe to Newsletters from NFLS Florence County Library attracts young patrons & families with interactive Touch2Play system12/5/2023
The Florence County Library recently acquired an interactive Kidzpace Touch2Play Wall system for young visitors to use during the library's Tot Times, after school programs, and every day they are in the library.
Designed for children between ages 2-8, the system's 50-inch screen is mounted to a wall and allows for an interactive experience that promotes fun and learning for groups or children and parents. It's loaded with educational interactive activities, can be used with multiple patrons at the same time, and can also be used to show educational videos for kids. Library Director Stephanie Weber said, "Parents and kids of all ages are amazed by the educational activities and high definition of the Kidzpace!" The Kidzpace Touch2Play Wall system was purchased with a 2023 Improvement and Innovation (I&I) Grant from the Nicolet Federated Library System (NFLS). I&I grant funds are used in the areas of Workforce & Economic Development, Information Technology, and/or Reading Proficiency & Lifelong Learning. QUEST Grant provides support & training needed to work in early childcare field in Wisconsin12/5/2023
Mari Kay-Nabozny, Chief Executive Officer of the Northwest Wisconsin Workforce Investment Board, asked that we help share information out through our library networks about the Quality Jobs, Equity, Strategy, and Training (QUEST) Grant, which “provides support and training needed to get individuals back to, or, working in the early child care field in Wisconsin.” As libraries are significant institutions for parents pursuing non-traditional educational pathways for kids (like homeschooling), our spaces could be well-primed to reach potential workers that might enhance the Wisconsin childcare economy; the QUEST Grant would support individuals interested in childcare employment opportunities. The ‘blurb’ and generic flyer directly below can be used to share information with your networks. Please spread word about this opportunity and encourage other libraries to do the same.

Subscribe to Newsletters from NFLS By Shannon Nichola Stoner, Gillett Public Library Director Gillett youth and their parents celebrated the annual eclipse, which occurred on Saturday, October 14th, with a Solar Eclipse Party at the Gillett Public Library on Wednesday, October 11th.
Kids learned the science of the upcoming eclipse including how and why they occur. They also created their own special memento for the event using chalk circles and black construction paper. Using a large Styrofoam plate and a small disk, they explored how it appears that the moon can cover the sun. The group then enjoyed sundaes with a special decoration. |
