The kids are home from school because of vacation or a
weather cancellation, and they are getting bored. Here are a couple of suggestions to keep them
entertained, accessible for free with a Ridgefield Library card.
Tumblebooks are eBooks for the very young that let you enjoy
the illustrations onscreen as you listen to favorite picture books read aloud.
Bookflix from Scholastic is an online literary resource for
children that pairs video storybooks with related non-fiction eBooks. Imagine a
film of a Curious George story paired with a non-fiction book about monkeys, plus
word games, a profile of the author, suggestions for individual or group
activities and links to additional resources.
Hoopla offers downloadable and streaming music, movies and
TV shows in addition to eBooks and audiobooks and even comic books. And the
Kids Mode setting features content that has been deemed suitable for children
up to 12 years of age.
OverDrive offers eBooks and audiobooks from many of the best
authors, narrators and publishers in the business, and also has a special “Kids
Collection” interface.

for more information and links to get you started (some also have apps for
enjoying on a smartphone or other device).
