You can take the iPad to any space within the library. Once you're done, bring back all the elements you borrowed. Tamariki | children aged 5+ can use the Osmo kits and iPads under adult supervision.
Please note: The devices are all tracked. Please do not leave the technology unattended, and make sure to bring it back after your session.
GarageBand: Make music and edit songs and audio.
Procreate: Take your art to the next level.
Sketchbook: For everyone who loves to draw.
Tinker Zone runs using a Traffic Light system. The X-box, iPads, Lightpads, and all corresponding kits are Green Tech, which means that anyone can have access to them, provided that the tech is taken care of and brought back to a librarian after use.
