The Augusta County Library has added two Early Literacy Stations (AWE) for children at the Fishersville Library and one at the Churchville Branch. One of the stations at the Fishersville Library offers early literacy programs in Spanish. Juega en Espanol!

Designed for ages two to eight, each computer station is packed with top rated developmental programs using an imaginative interface that encourages exploration.

The color-coded keyboard is designed for learning and the tiny mouse perfectly fits a child's smaller hand. Twenty-six top rated education titles crossing all curriculums are preloaded onto each Early Literacy Station.

Titles appealing to preschoolers include Reader Rabbit Toddler, Stellaluna, The Cat in the Hat, Millie's Math House, and Sammy's Science House.

School-age students will enjoy these programs: Reader Rabbit Learn to Read with Phonics, SpongeBob Square Pants Typing, Krazy ArtRoom, My Amazing Human Body, USA Explorer, and My First Amazing History Explorer.

Three programs from the award-winning PBS television series, Between the Lions, are included: Waiter There's A Fly In My Soup, Shooting Stars, and Pandora's Box.

All ages will enjoy Encarta Kids 2006, Encarta Dictionary 2006, and Microsoft Paint.

The Early Literacy Stations are available for use during normal library hours of operation.
