Osmo is an educational game system for iPad that connects physical play with the virtual world, made available to our library by a pilot project of the Office of Commonwealth Libraries.

Osmo games are recommended for ages 5 to 12 years old and can be enjoyed in the library during regular library hours. Our Osmo game collection includes:

Coding Adventures with Awbie—Place coding blocks in front of an iPad in patterns and sequences and send Awbie on a magical & exciting adventure.

Hot Wheels MindRacers—Players send real Hot Wheels cars racing down a ramp and into a variety of fun digital racetracks.

Masterpiece—easy to follow outlines let kids become artists, then turn your drawings into a timelapse video.

Monster—Kids’ drawings get pulled onto the screen and become part of magical animated activities.

Newton—Use physical objects or hand-drawn lines & objects to guide falling on-screen balls into targeted zones.

Numbers—arrange physical tiles including dots & digits to make numbers and complete simple arithmetic.

Pizza Co.—Make pizzas with toppings and make change for your customers.  Invest your profits to upgrade your pizza shop!

Tangram—Arrange tangible puzzle pieces to match on-screen images

Words—look at the on-screen clue, guess the secret word, then arrange letter tiles to spell the word.

The library has an ongoing Candy Bar fundraiser.  $1 each at the library circulation desk.
