For Kids

Playaway Launchpad is the first-ever secure, pre-loaded learning tablet designed for children, teens, and adults in a circulation environment. Launchpads are pre-loaded with high-quality learning apps and are available in many subjects. 

Every Launchpad is durable enough to move from the hands of one explorer to the next. We have Launchpads for all ages, from Pre-K (age 3) through adulthood. Stop by to check one out today. All Launchpads must be returned inside at our circulation desk.
