Silver City Public Library has added new tech devices for kids to use in the library, as well as new software for teens.
Playaway Launchpad tablets and a new AWE computer are now available for children to use, in the library only.
The Launchpad tablets by Playaway are durable tablets with games on them that are meant to be shared. They come pre-loaded with games, so internet is not necessary and loading times are quick. Launchpad tablets are designed with an easy-to-use interface. The library has tablets from Playaway’s STEAM Academy and Reading Academy. They cover a range of activities and ages, for different skill levels and learning areas.
The library has also added a new AWE computer with pre-loaded games—over 85 educational titles. No need to log in, just sit and play award-winning content. The computer is broken down into subject areas so kids can find what they are interested in and get started, from STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) to Language Arts to reading. “The new computer is for a slightly older audience, ages 8-12, while our other AWE computers are for ages 2-8,” explained Abigail Kipp, children’s and youth librarian. “So this new addition will keep the fun going as the kids grow.”

Tremours – with the Veldt
Synth Pop/ Alt-Rock
Alternative Soul and Shoegaze
Doors: 7:00pm Music: 7:30pm
Come see some Big Music is an Intimate Room.
TREMOURS formed in Los Angeles in 2021 by the duo of Lauren Andino and Glenn Fryatt. Late night jam sessions in the midst of lockdown uncertainty slowly transformed into TREMOURS creative partnership, driven by the tension between Andino’s hazy, drifting guitars and Fryatt’s urgent, pulsating drums.
South Carolina-born Andino has played with LSD And The Search For God and most recently L.A. Witch as a touring guitarist. Fryatt hails from Portsmouth, England, and has toured as a drummer for artists such as Cherubs, The Montrose Avenue and Ten Benson.
TREMOURS sees them each newly harnessing and exploring their own creative impulses, inspired by everything from shoegaze to jazz to electronica to literature to looking out at the sea.
On the back of their 2022 Little Cloud Records EP Affectations, TREMOURS have undertaken two full US tours and garnered a following across North America and Europe. TREMOURS are set to headline Canada’s Cherry Cult Fest in March and have a full-length album and a host of tour dates slated for later in 2023.
