0 Comments

The Farnsworth Public Library is now lending Playaway Launchpads.

These 12 Launchpads are preloaded, secure children’s learning tablets, with themed reading, spelling, and vocabulary apps designed to support early literacy.

They are available for lots of subjects and age groups, but the library chose to focus on early literacy and preschoolers. They also have no cameras or internet access.

The library has 12 different Launchpads available - check one out today!

The Launchpads were paid for by the Nicolet Federated Library System through its 2019 Library Improvement & Innovation Grant, which funds programs in the areas of workforce development, lifelong learning, and/or technology.

Check out what other NFLS libraries have purchased with their grants here.
