iPads, AWEs, or something else?
by Killian Weston 24 Oct '23

24 Oct '23

Hello Everyone! We are currently looking at options for replacing our youth iPads. Currently, we have three iPads with apps selected for up to age 6 and three with apps selected for ages 6 and older. We're hoping to find a way to still offer quality activities but in a way that requires less staff time to manage (between updates, needing to reset them because kids have tried to bypass passcodes, etc, they're a lot). We've been considering returning to AWEs and were wondering what other libraries experiences have been recently. We're considering both the tablets and the computers (we like the idea of offering both touch screen tablets and mouse and keyboard use on a computer). If you're using something other than iPads, I'd love to hear what you're using, your experiences with the company, and if you'd recommend them! Thank you! Killian Weston Youth Services Librarian Bloomfield Township Public Library 1099 Lone Pine Rd. Bloomfield Township, MI 48302 248-642-5800 ext. 194

Hello! We are in search of a fellow Michigan library that may possess the Bright Beginnings(r) STEAM Floor-Standing Peg Wall System (https://www.demco.com/steam-floor-standing-peg-wall-accessories) and would be willing to provide us with specific measurements. Our library features a custom made peg wall in the children's section, and we are interested in expanding our collection of accessories for this system. Unfortunately, we have encountered challenges in obtaining the necessary peg measurements from Demco or the manufacturer. If your library happens to have the same peg wall system, we kindly request your assistance in measuring either the diameter of the pegs or the hole dimensions. Thank you in advance for your help! Warm regards, Anne Richards, MLIS Librarian - Collection Development Richland Community Library 8951 Park St. Richland, MI 49083 269-629-9085 -- This message has been scanned by E.F.A.
