LIBRARY LEARNING STATIONS AVAILABLE

Thomas Pasch uses Learning Station #1 to enjoy a game. |
|
The Clyde Public Library announces that two Learning Stations are available for use in the
Children's Room. These stations are installed with educational software, games and word
processing software and are available for kids to use. Kids 6 years old and under will need an adult to assist them and all children will need a valid library card to sign-in to use the stations. The Learning Stations software was purchased with money generated through the raffle of a handmade quilt. The quilt was made by Sherry Swanson, mother of Bogey's Diner owner Gary Beamer who donated the quilt to the Library for the raffle. |
