Fondulac District Library announces that Playaway Launchpad tablets are now available for checkout. Launchpads are designed for children and are preloaded with high quality, ad-free apps that are both fun and educational. Apps are grouped onto the tablets by subject area, theme, grade level, and age, making it easy for parents and kids to choose a tablet with the content most appealing and appropriate to them.
The tablets provide hours of interactive learning and play without the risk of exposure to unintended content or the need for a network connection or downloading. The library’s Launchpad collection spans subject areas from math and science to critical thinking and creativity and features themed learning packs including animals, vehicles, languages, and more.
A custom designed user interface gives children the opportunity to make every Launchpad experience their own by creating a personal avatar. An informational console gives parents feedback about the time their children spent on the tablet. Launchpads are powered by an Android operating system and feature a 7-inch high definition touch screen, external speaker, universal audio jack, and a durable protective bumper. Launchpads are secure and do not have wi-fi access or a camera.
For more information about borrowing a Launchpad, please visit Fondulac District Library, visit the Launchpad page on the library’s website, or call (309) 699-3917.
