Game Computers

For younger children, the two computers behind our circulation desk are now designated for computer games only. Games we have on hand for the two machines include Freddi Fish and the Case of The Missing Kelp Seeds, The Magic School Bus Explores the Ocean, MicroRacers, Freddi Fish 2 The Case of The Haunted Schoolhouse, Reader Rabbit's 1st Grade, and The Magic School Bus Explores Inside the Earth. We're always interested to learn what games you want on hand - feel free to let us know.

Catalog computer

For those who want to search Athena, our computerized library catalog, we now have a computer set up for that purpose and that purpose only. It's in the first study carrell in the adult section just around the corner from the circulation desk. Athena is also available on all five of the computers clustered near the audio books and movies, but if all of those are busy, you can still get to Athena on the catalog computer in the study carrell.

Playaways are here


The library has begun to collect book titles on Playaways. These are small self-playing audio books. With your own ear buds and a AAA battery you can listen for up to 12 hours. Playback is controlled by simple buttons. Check our catalog for titles or browse the A-V shelf to make your selection.
