New (and Returning) Resources for the New Year

Just in time for the new year, we have one new and one returning resource coming to the Malden Public Library!

Educate Station

“Educate Station content is created by a team of experienced and passionate educators from across the United States. Our educators bring vast subject-matter expertise, teaching credentials, and many years of experience as classroom teachers and curriculum developers. Through the content we create, we aim to provide ready-to-use, hands-on activities for kids to do at home or at school. The Educate Station team is committed to inspiring joyful learning and supporting kids, teachers, and parents.”

Educate Station provides a large number of free lesson plans and worksheets for students from Pre-K through 5th grade, aligned to state and national standards. Ideal for learners who need a little extra practice at home, or for caregivers who are choosing to homeschool.

To access Educate Station from home, you will need to use the link above and enter your library card number. If you would like to access Educate Station from one of the library computers, you can use the link above, without entering a library card number. Using either method will require that you create an Educate Station account.

Transparent Language

“Transparent Language Online provides an effective and engaging experience for language learners looking to build their vocabulary, practice their listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills, and maintain what they learn.  With courses and supplemental resources in 110+ languages, Transparent Language Online can be accessed anytime, anywhere, on almost any device.”

Transparent Language was previously available to Malden Public Library card holders through state funding, and is now available again! One fantastic feature is their American Citizenship Test materials, which have been updated to reflect changes made to the test in 2025. To access Transparent Languages, click the link above, select “Sign up”, enter your library card number, and get started creating an account.
