Don’t have a card? If you're 13 years or older, you can go to http://www.bpl.org/general/circulation/ecards.htm and get an “ecard” which allows you to access online resources (HINT: make sure you select your neighborhood, not just “Boston.” For example, if you live in Dorchester, select “Dorchester” instead of “Boston” so it matches your zip code correctly).

If you live outside of Boston, you can still get a BPL card or ecard (they are available to all Massachusetts residents). You can also look up your city or town’s public library website to see if there are additional ways for you to access digital materials from those organizations.

Some of our students have access to Bookshare. Bookshare is a government initiative that makes ebooks with read-aloud text and dyslexic-friendly features to the general public. Students must have an IEP or 504 plan designating a learning, physical, or visual disability that interferes with the individual's ability to read print. To find out if you or your child is eligible, email kfunderburk@codmanacademy.org or one of our special education staff.
If a student has a severe vision impairment (20/200 or worse), has a physical condition that makes holding a book difficult, or has a physical disability which prevents them from reading standard print, they may be eligible to access ebooks, audiobooks, Braille, and large-print books from the Perkins Library. To find out if you or your child is eligible, email kfunderburk@codmanacademy.org or one of our special education staff.
