The Haywood County Public Library has acquired the Early Literacy Station, a computer loaded with 50 educational software titles for children ages 2-10.

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. The ELS has a colorful keyboard and tiny mouse, sized for a child’s hand, to promote easy learning and discovery.

The Early Literacy Station’s educational software covers seven areas: reading, math, science, social studies, writing, arts and music, and reference. The system is designed to attract and educate toddlers through elementary school ages.

The Early Learning Station is available in English, Spanish and French.
