Baby, It’s Cold Outside!

Need some ideas of what to do when it’s freezing outdoors? You’re in the right place!

– Come to the Library to play – We gave games, toys, and puzzles for all ages, Playstix, and of course the popular train table. Osmo (“Play Beyond the Screen”) is always available for kids and is a combination of a digital experience and tangible play. We also have Imagination Playground (“Big Blue Blocks”) in our program room for kids to play with, whenever a class is not in session.

– Borrow a Playaway Launchpad for your child – These are tablets pre-loaded with educational apps appropriate for your kid. They are 100% secure and do not have Internet connectivity.  Patrons do not have to install parental controls or worry about their children being exposed to unintended or inappropriate content. They now have new, sturdier cases too. Look for the bright orange packaging in the Children’s Department!

– Stay inside and watch movies –

• • Our new “Binge Boxes” include 4 – 6 DVDs that share themes such as “Romantic Comedies”, “Based on a Book”, “Sports on Screen”, “Courtroom Drama”, “Family Movie Night”, “Fright Night”, “Classic Films”, “Marvel Superheroes”, and “British Favorites.” You can find them in main reading room.
  • Stream movies directly to your computer, phone, tablet or smart TV through Hoopla or Kanopy. Click here to get started.

– And of course, read a book! (We couldn’t be the Library and not mention that!)
