Clarkston Independence District Library and Springfield Township Library also have multiple copies of each battle book available for check-out. Many of the books are also available on-demand as ebooks and/or audiobooks from Hoopla - you may access Hoopla with your library card/Pack Pass. You may purchase books if you like, but it is not necessary to do so. Different schools may follow a slightly different procedure for exchanging books so please follow the guidelines communicated by your student’s teacher or media technician.
