In the Children's Department, there are six computers with internet access for research and two Early Literacy Stations™. 

The Early Literacy Station™ (ELS) is designed specifically for our youngest patrons ages 2-8 and features over 4,000 localized learning activities. The fun, interactive, and engaging content spans all seven curricular areas: math, science & nature, social studies & geography, reading, art & music, writing & computer skills, and reference. The ELS is available in English, Bilingual Spanish, and Bilingual French.

A library card number is necessary to log on to the children's computers and ELS systems. If you do not have a NRH Library card, a guest pass can be provided to you at the Children's desk.
