Explore the ABCmouse Home Access program for libraries, which allows patrons to use ABCmouse from home. This article outlines the program's features and how libraries can offer this service.
ABCmouse Home Access for Libraries is a subscription service that we offer to public libraries so that they can extend their digital education outreach throughout their communities.
The service allows library patrons to use their library cards to enjoy continuous and unlimited remote access to the same full version of ABCmouse (ages 2-8+) that consumers subscribe to for $12.99 a month.
ABCmouse Home Access for Libraries is used by more than 1,000 public libraries across the U.S., including many large libraries such as Los Angeles County, Miami-Dade County, San Diego County, and Tampa-Hillsborough County libraries.

Positive Feedback from Library Patrons
“ABCmouse.com is a great learning tool for kids of all ages, preschool through elementary school. It is also user friendly and lots of fun. My son is 3 years old and has been using Abcmouse.com for a few months now and can now count to 10, has learned to listen and follow instructions, he's become more independent and takes pride in learning new things, and he's recognizing letters. I love that ABCmouse.com can be used on many devices. My son can play on my phone, a tablet, or our laptop and it's easy to move from one to the other.” ~ Allison Gregory (patron of T.A. Cutler Memorial Library)
“I don't know how ABCmouse.com does it, but it gets through to my daughter in no way that I could, and I'm so happy. I've also seen my daughter learn other things that I did not expect; she has become much better at using a mouse to interact with the computer, and she is also coming to understand the value of tickets (and hopefully money in real-life and down the road) and using them sparingly and deciding which gifts have the most value.” ~ Jason Molen (patron of Santa Clara County Library)
“I love ABCmouse! My son started speech therapy about a year ago and I feel as if ABC Mouse aided him speaking faster. He is much more confident and apt to speak now that he routinely does activities on the website! Using it through the library program is amazing and much appreciated!” ~ Charmae Martin (patron of Daly City Public Library)
“I think the ABCmouse.com is a great way to help kids become excited about learning. It is the perfect combination of fun and learning. A parent can feel good about this type of screen time and the site engages the whole family! I use the site with my (just turned) 5-year- old and my (about to be) 9-year-old. My 5-year-old has definitely added to his letter recognition and letter sound recognition directly from playing on ABCMouse.com.” ~ Elizabeth LiVolsi (patron of Contra Costa County Library)

“Parents and children alike are elated to find out that they can [access ABCmouse] for in home use. Many of our members could not afford it otherwise. Children and parents often ask for computer games to play while in the library. The children's staff always directs them to ABC Mouse where they learn and have fun at the same time. Parents are thankful, often praise the collaboration, and hope to see more opportunities like this in the future.” ~ Elizabeth Braunworth, Children’s and Teen Librarian at the Main Library of Palm Beach County Library
“ABCmouse Home Access for Libraries is one way the Detroit Public Library is encouraging children to read every day. The games and activities are fun and educational and, based on their heavy use, children are enjoying them. It is the type of resource that many families in our community would not have access to, except through the Library.” ~ Margaret Bruni, Director for Public Services for the Detroit Public Library
“We are excited to launch this service on September 1 that will allow Sonoma County families to “checkout” access to ABCmouse to use at their home… With this service, children will now have remote access to ABCmouse through their local library for free. The service also supports our strategic plan goals to provide educational and recreational experiences that spark lifelong learning, and to prepare parents and their children for entry into the K-12 school system.” ~ Susan Hildreth, Interim Library Director, Sonoma County Library, CA
“We've had this resource in our libraries for years and there has been so much enthusiasm around it … ~ Skye Patrick, Director of the County of Los Angeles Public Library.
“I love, love, love ABCmouse.com. We’ve had tons of kids playing games on our computers this summer. Now we have quality education games we can refer them to all in one place at ABCmouse.com.” ~ July Hisel, Director of Wilson Memorial Library (IA)
