With the school year in full swing, and our lives busier this fall, it might be hard to find time to stop by the library. The good news is, Fondulac staff have been working hard, not only for Summer Reading these past few months, but also to offer alternatives to our physical location this new school year. Of course, we have always had our digital collections, but over the summer we have added new collections! We hope our new digital collection makes it easier to access your library on your terms, with the content you are most interested in! Here are some of the new services we have added to our digital library!
Comics Plus offers thousands of comic books that the whole family will enjoy, completely free! The kids comics range from Minecraft-Inspired series to the Legend of Korra series. It also has lots of manga for teens and adults. If you are familiar with logging into Libby, Boundless, or your Fondulac District Library account, all you need is your library card number and PIN to get started! When first setting up this account, it will be important to make sure to help your kids sign up for the Comics Plus Children’s Library.
Kanopy is a great alternative to many of the streaming subscriptions that cost in our world today. Kanopy is completely free for our patrons. It offers tv shows, movies, and educational courses for both adults and kids! At FDL we offer 15 credits for our general Kanopy services per month, but the good news is kids are able to watch unlimited content in the Kanopy Kids section all month long!
FDL has also revamped our language learning services! We switched from Mango languages to Rocket Languages. This new language app can be used on the computer or with an app on your phone! It gives even more in-depth lessons than our previous service as well!
