    • (Teachers, please note, Sara can purchase multiple copies of popular and current titles of eBooks/audiobooks for the SESC Overdrive Library with her grant if you plan a year in advance. This means every student in your classroom could check out the same eBook from the school's OVERDRIVE library at the same time if you’re teaching/reading that book. But for her grant, she needs to purchase those licenses this year to have for next year, so you’ll need to plan/coordinate with her to get the number of copies you'd like ordered.)
    • Education Media Center Bookshelf Resources: Sara has compiled a resource of links to find free eBooks, audiobooks, apps, reviews, teacher and library helps.
