Children can walk in and use the Electronic Discovery Center's twelve multimedia workstations to read the interactive books, use multi-media encyclopedias, or to surf the Library's collection of World Wide Web links.
Volunteers are on hand to provide technical assistance if needed.
The Center will also present special programs with community-based arts organizations, children's museums, science centers, and new media companies for children to make their own multimedia stories and artwork, and to converse with each other over the Internet. The Electronic Discovery Center is located on the second floor of the Main Library, in the Fisher Children's Center. The Teen Center, located on the third floor of the Main Library, also houses two Electronic Discovery Center workstations. We are also moving it out to the branches. Many of the branches currently, or will soon, have Electronic Discovery machines available for the neighborhood children.
