Whether you are traveling by train, plane or automobile, Fondulac District Library has you covered. Don’t forget to stop by the library to stock up on materials or download one of our apps to enjoy entertainment on the road.
Here are some of our collection highlights:
Hoopla
Hoopla Digital Media is a streaming service available through our library for those who hold a Fondulac District Library card. Hoopla is a website and app that can be used to stream movies, TV, music albums, comics, eBooks, and audiobooks. Some of the content can be downloaded to a mobile device for access without WiFi. Make sure to download content beforehand in case you may be without WiFi. The best thing about hoopla is that there is no wait time for content.
Playaways and CD Books
Find the perfect audiobook for the whole family. Our Playaways and CD books check out for three weeks. We have plenty of new releases in each format, but don’t forget the back list if you are looking for a good listen. Check out this website for recommendations. A guide about all our audiobook formats can be found here.
Launchpads and Playaway Views
Launchpads and Playaway Views are a great way for children to have screen time that is safe and fun. Launchpads are tablets that are pre-loaded with apps that are engaging and promote age-appropriate learning. Playaway Views are small video players that include stories for children. Neither need access to WiFi. Make sure to charge each device before your trip to maximize performance. Contact the Youth Services Department for more information.
