[Michlib-l] ABCmouse is free for all public libraries

[Yvonne Brown]

Hello. At Lapeer District Library, our patrons have been using ABCmouse on our public computers, and it is very popular (and fun!). The folks at ABCmouse asked me to pass along the info, in case other libraries are interested. This is free for in-library use, and very easy to set up. Below are the details: 

ABCmouse.com has won numerous awards and features 5,000+ learning activities, including online books, interactive learning activities, games, puzzles, songs, art activities, and more. ABCmouse.com is also completely child-safe, with no advertising or links to other websites. 

Here are some of the reasons why ABCmouse.com is so popular: 

Completely FREE for all public libraries – currently in use at over 6,000 public library locations! 

Comprehensive early learning: ABCmouse.com offers the most comprehensive online curriculum for children ages 2 – 7+, including reading and language arts, math, beginning science, social studies, art and music. 

Easy setup: Librarians can set up their free account in just a few easy steps, and once it’s set up, children will be able to easily access the site from any library computer
