iPads now available in the childrenâ€™s department!

As part of the Early Literacy and Reading Readiness Grant from the Ohio Department of Education that we received in partnership with the North Canton City Schools and Walsh University, the library is fortunate to be the recipient of several iPads complete with literacy apps for use in our childrenâ€™s department. The goal of the iPad program is to encourage early literacy skill reinforcement.

The iPads can be borrowed for a maximum of two hours at a time and must be used in the childrenâ€™s department at the library. A user agreement is required. For more information, visit the childrenâ€™s department desk.
