We talk about apps quite often here on Little eLit. Whenever we mention an app, we’ll link to it on this page. Apps are organized in three broad categories, which are not mutually exclusive:

Storytime Apps – Apps that have been field tested in storytime programs

Book Apps – Apps based on books (book originally published in print and/or electronic format)

Apps for Other Library Programs – Non-book apps field tested in other types of programming

*Apps with an asterisk had mixed reviews from Little eLit contributors, but we still consider them worth mentioning here.
