Children's Library

Link to new Children's materials is now located on the sidebar.

Good news! The Library has subscribed to three new Scholastic reading programs that you and your child can access from  home using your JTL library card. They will also be available on patron computers at the Library. You will need to use earbuds to listen to the programs while at the Library. You may bring your own, or you can purchase a pair from the Library for a small fee. We hope you enjoy these programs.


BookFlix is an online literacy resource that pairs classic video storybooks from Weston Woods with related nonfiction eBooks from Scholastic to build a love of reading and learning. This engaging resource for children in grades Pre-K – 3 will help early readers develop and practice essential reading skills and introduces students to a world of knowledge and exploration.

TrueFlix allows students to graduate from “learning to read” to “reading to learn” and master content area knowledge in science and social studies.

FreedomFlix features dynamic e-books of the Children’s Press best-selling Cornerstones of Freedom series that include embedded popup features such as maps, timelines, virtual tour clips, primary source videos and audio clips that makes history come to life.

EVERY CHILD READY TO READ WORKSHOPS

 

These workshops will be held for parents, caregivers and their children. I will provide strategies that can be used to help their children develop early literacy skills beginning at birth so that they are ready to learn to read once they begin school. These workshops are made possible through an LSTA grant and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

SCIENCETELLERS

Sciencetelling uses science experiments to tell stories.  With fun and exciting experiments performed right in front of the audience, we are able to bring the story to life.  It is through the experiments that the audience is able to experience the sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and feelings of the story.
