Just a reminder that there is a collection of ebooks that can be read online. All you need is a computer or other e-device at home and you can access the books from anywhere. To get there, go to the main library page, look at the choices on the right of the screen and click on ebooks. It will take you to the district follettshelf login screen. The username and password are right under the link, so take note of them before you click on the link!
There are currently 188 titles to read. These books can not be downloaded. They are read-on-line only. When you click on a title and open the book it is automatically "checked out" to you. The checkout period lasts for 2 days after which you will need to re-check it out by clicking on the title. As long as you keep the page open the book stays checked out to you. As soon as you close the book it becomes available for someone else.
For many books, there is a read-to-me button on the bottom left of the screen. If it is working for that title, a computerized voice will read to you as soon as you open the book. You can go into the system preferences of your computer to change the style and speed of the reading voice.
Happy Reading, and feel free to contact me if you have any questions! My e-mail is andra_horton@wsesu.org.
