I'm posting the message below for Celeste Steward, who was having technical difficulties posting to the list. Please reply to Celeste directly at

csteward_at_aclibrary.org if you have feedback for her:


Hi,



My library is running a pilot project for families with young children to explore early literacy apps together. The iPads are mounted on tables in the children’s area.


I’m interested in hearing from other libraries that are using iPads successfully in the library.

Are they available for children to use? If so, is there an age limit?

How are they being used?

Have you had any theft or damage?

Has iPad use presented any challenges for staff?


Please respond off list and I will post a compilation to the list.



TIA,



Celeste
