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!)

NEW! On-Demand Movie Streaming Service
Over 30,000 independent, international, classic, and documentary films (even training videos) are now available to Three Village through an on-demand video streaming service called Kanopy.
Kanopy offers a wide variety of movies in popular categories like comedy, drama, and romance, as well as subcategories including performing arts, mental health, education, gender studies, and biology, just to name a few. Hundreds of new films are added each month. The service is very user-friendly, and can be accessed on multiple devices, such as a computer, tablet, or smart phone.
Each Emma Clark Library patron may watch up to 5 movies per month with their library card. Library cardholders may stream Kanopy on their computer or download the app on their phone, and start watching, as Kanopy calls it, “The world’s finest cinema, brought to you by your library.”
Other libraries that offer Kanopy include The New York Public Library, Brooklyn Public Library, and Los Angeles Public Library, and the service was featured recently in The New York Times.
