Middle School eTextbooks

Alta Loma Christian School uses Bookshelf by VitalSource for all middle school eTextbooks. Middle school students are given their own Bookshelf accounts using their school-issued Google account. There are two ways for students to access their eTextbooks online:

1. Browser

Students can navigate to their eTexts by opening bookshelf.vitalsource.com and signing into their accounts on any laptop, desktop, or Chromebook browser.

2. Mobile App

Students can install the Bookshelf by VitalSource app on their Android or iOS device and use it to sign into their account (please note: VitalSource allows a maximum of two mobile devices to be signed into the same account at the same time). The mobile app also allows users to download their eTexts to their device for offline access.

Note: Students who are currently using an ALCS-issued iPad have the Bookshelf app installed and are already signed into their accounts.
