Two New Computers!!!
We are so happy to announce we have installed two new
and VERY exciting and entertaining computers in the
Children's Department.
Our young patrons will almost DEFINITELY want to try them
the next time they come to the library!
These computers feature dozens upon dozens of
"edutainment" titles for fun AND learning, so
children can get smarter
while they play!
Go on educational adventures with popular characters
from Sesame Street as well as Diego, Dora, Reader Rabbit,
and others!
There are SO MANY exciting games to choose from
- something for every young person to enjoy!
When ready, please come up to the Children's Department
