Eastern Oklahoma District Library System Adds 10 Early Literacy Stations to Its Children’s Libraries
Chester, PA (PRWEB) October 22, 2013
Eastern Oklahoma District Library System (EODLS) has acquired 10 of AWE’s Early Literacy Station™ touchscreen computers. The Early Literacy Station is a comprehensive educational solution loaded with over 60 educational software titles for kids ages two to eight. The Early Literacy Station offers children a safe, standalone computer not connected to the Internet that is age-appropriate, engaging, and academically relevant for children. It is designed to support school readiness and technology access while making learning exciting and engaging.
EODLS received the 10 Early Literacy Stations through the Children in Poverty Computer Grant 2013 from the Oklahoma Department of Libraries in conjunction with the Institute of Museum & Library Services. All 15 EODLS branches now have at least one unit for use by the public.
The Early Literacy Station’s educational software covers seven curricular areas: reading, math, science, social studies, writing, arts and music, and reference. The system is designed to attract and educate toddlers through early elementary school ages. Many of the software programs contain disguised learning activities that expand the child’s experience through games and extension activities.
The programs on Version 10 of the Early Literacy Station include: La Casa de Dora, SpongeBob SquarePants Typing, Giggles Kids My Musical World/ABCs and 123s, Kid Pix 3D, Math Doodles, Know Your USA, Sesame Street, Speakaboos interactive storybooks, and World of Goo.
The Early Literacy Station has an imaginative interface that encourages exploration by readers and pre-readers alike. Since it is a self-contained computer, the need for adult intervention and technical support is greatly minimized.
“The Early Literacy Station is an invaluable resource for our toddlers to 5th grade students,” says Margaret Collins, local branch manager. “The kids are having fun, and many times they don’t know they are learning!”

Public Library Systems Spend $47,000 Annually on Personal Computers
Public Library Systems Spend $ 47,000 Annually on Personal Computers
(PRWEB) June 27, 2013
The study found that the public library systems in the sample spent a mean of $ 47,357 for personal computers and workstations in the past year. Laptops make some inroads into the public library market, and public libraries with more than 10 employees purchased a mean of 3.71 laptop computers in the past year. Nonetheless, smaller libraries with a budget of less than $ 100,000 had an average stock of only 1.31 laptops. Spending was also modest on eBook Reading devices, an estimated mean of $ 483 on eBook reading devices in 2012. However, mobile computing is making its mark on the Nation’s public libraries and 44.9% of the libraries sampled currently own or lease an Amazon Kindle and 18.37% of the libraries plan on purchasing a Barnes & Noble Nook over the next two years.
The report ($ 59.00) is available from Primary Research Group (http://www.PrimaryResearch.com) and also from major book vendors such as Amazon, Baker & Taylor, Yankee Book Peddler, Midwest Library Services, Overdrive and other distributors of content.
