Playaway Launchpads

Playaway Launchpads, which we started offering to young patrons in July 2015, are kids-only learning tablets that circulate just like a book or movie.  The tablets are pre-loaded with educational apps appropriate for your child.

These tablets come in fun, bright orange packaging, a charging cord (with both USB and AC adapters), and a durable case, perfect for little hands.  There are currently over 25 tablets available, each pre-loaded with high-quality, interactive learning apps geared towards a particular subject area, including math, science, and language arts, and each with a different theme, such as pizza, colors, and monkeys.  The tablets are also divided by age group:  3 – 5, 5 – 7, 8 – 10, and 10+ years.  They are easy to use and come ready to play with award-winning apps.

Most importantly, these devices 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.

To reserve a Playaway Launchpad, simply click here.  Choose a tablet at the appropriate age level and with a theme that your child will enjoy.  Once requested, you may pick it up in the Circulation Desk.
