AWE Learning has spent more than 30 years helping libraries create meaningful learning experiences for children. We partner with public libraries and community organizations across the United States and Canada to provide safe, engaging, and developmentally appropriate digital learning solutions designed specifically for young learners ages 2–12.

Our work is rooted in a simple belief 👉 Every child deserves access to high-quality learning tools, regardless of background or resources.

AWE Learning delivers turnkey digital learning workstations that help libraries:

• Support school readiness and early literacy development
• Expand equitable access to digital learning
• Provide healthy, productive screen time in a safe environment
• Extend programming without adding staff time
• Create engaging, self-directed learning experiences through play

Many children already have access to tablets and touchscreen devices at home—but not all technology builds the same skills. AWE Learning workstations go beyond tap-and-swipe interaction by combining touchscreen, mouse, and keyboard use, helping children develop real digital literacy skills like navigation, coordination, and early typing confidence.

It’s not replacing what they have at home—it’s expanding it.

Each workstation includes 250+ award-winning learning modules across literacy, math, STEM, and creativity, designed to build real skills while keeping children engaged.

Libraries are evolving. They are no longer places to access books; they are becoming community learning hubs that support early education, digital literacy, and lifelong learning.

At the same time:

• Not every child has access to technology or educational resources at home
• Not all screen time is meaningful
• Libraries are being asked to do more with limited staff

AWE Learning helps bridge these gaps by providing structured, interactive digital learning experiences that are:

AWE Learning workstations are designed specifically for libraries—combining a closed, child-safe environment, intuitive navigation, and structured, play-based learning to ensure every child can explore, learn, and succeed independently.

AWE Learning was founded in the mid-1990s as a remote network technology company.

While working with the Free Library of Philadelphia, we saw firsthand the challenges libraries faced in managing educational software for young patrons. That moment sparked a new direction and the creation of our flagship solution: the Early Literacy Station.

Since then, AWE Learning has grown into a trusted partner for libraries nationwide:

• Used by over 49% of U.S. public libraries
• More than 40,000 workstations sold
• Supporting millions of learning interactions each year

Many of those original workstations are still in daily use today — a testament to the durability and longevity that library customers have come to rely on.

AWE Learning helps transform libraries into:

• Early learning environments
• Digital equity access points
• School readiness support systems
• “Third learning spaces” between home and school

By combining technology with intentional, research-backed design, we help communities create opportunities for continuous learning and growth.

AWE workstations are built to last. The average AWE workstation remains in active service for years in high-traffic public environments — giving libraries long-term value and predictable replacement cycles.
