Important information about Junior and Young Adult memberships

We want to let all parents know about a system change that will affect our Junior and Young Adult members.

Effective immediately, all Junior and Young Adult membership types will now be able to use their library cards to access the internet on our public PCs. The library wifi is also freely available and not restricted by age.

If you would prefer your child to not be able to log themselves onto a PC session, please ensure you supervise them at the libraries.

We encourage all parents to have regular ‘internet safety’ talks with their children. Click here to find some helpful links to help with your chats. Then scroll down to the ‘Young People’ section:

Britannica Library – reliable information tailored for your age group

Britannica Library offers well-researched information you can trust, free with your library membership. And you can search according the the user’s age group, ensuring results that are suitable for all stages of learning!

Britannica offers a safe space to send school kids who are working on projects – or you can just follow your own curiosity and see where it leads you.

Keeping the kids entertained (while they learn new skills!)

 

Swopbots and Rainforest Coding are e-resources that teach kids how to code in a fun and entertaining way – it’s like playing a game, except you get to make the creative decisions!
