Interactive touch table
by Lyn Davis 15 Feb '22

15 Feb '22

Our library is thinking about purchasing an interactive touch table for the children's area. If your library has one, what brand do you have and would you go with that brand again? Was it a good purchase? What type of software or games are downloaded on it? Also, how do parents feel about having the table in the kids area? We want kids to enjoy the table and play with it, but not get too distracted and not have interest in looking at books. Anything else we should consider for purchasing one?
