Fun & Learning for Toddlers thru 8 Year Olds

Aridan Books’ patented and trademarked iPad stands make it easy for young children to sit in front of an iPad station, select an icon app on the touch screen and start having fun learning new concepts. Even toddlers are easily engaged with our puzzle game apps.

iPad Kiosks for Public Libraries

Ellen Firer, Library Director of the Merrick Library in Merrick, Long Island, NY, bought her first iPad Kiosk with four iPad stations from Aridan Books in 2013. It was an instant hit in the Children’s Room. Less than a year later, she bought a second 4-station kiosk. Now Nassau County’s 54 public libraries have joined together as a group purchaser of Aridan Books’ unique iPad Kiosks (Stands).

Firer knew the children would enjoy using the children’s educational apps on the colorful iPad stations, but she didn’t expect the kiosks to be as wildly popular as they have become.

“Before we had these iPad stands,” Firer said, “the children would come in with their parents and run straight to our saltwater fish tank to see the clown fish. Now they run straight to the crayon kiosks.”
