MPL Readaloud (New Video Series)

We have a new video series for young readers called MPL Readaloud.  In these videos, one of our staff or volunteers reads a children's picture book aloud. Ideally, the reader (or, more likely, his or her caregiver) could checkout the book beforehand and follow along as s/he plays the video.

MPL Readaloud Video Playlist

We're quite excited about this new video series and hope our patrons enjoy them.

Power Up! @ MPL

Have you powered up yet at the library?  Our promo trailer explains.

We made an earlier promo trailer about our charging stations, but that was before we had all three units available.
