Please Note:

The Ingersoll Middle School Library has joined the eRead Illinois shared collection (The Palace Project) to provide free access to e-books for our students. E-books are checked out via the app on a student’s compatible device such as an iphone, tablet, or PC computer or via the online catalog. The Palace Project shared collection is used by public, school, and special libraries within the Reaching Across Illinois Library System (RAILS). The current IMS scoped collection contains Young Adult and Juvenile fiction and non- fiction titles on a wide range of topics. Because we are participating in a group purchase of this product and because books are not checked out with school staff supervision, we cannot be responsible for materials borrowed through this service.

Due to the fact that some materials available in thePalace Library may be considered unsuitable for younger readers, we are asking you to please talk with your student about your expectations for their reading material and monitor use as you see fit. You may view the collection at: https://catalog.thepalaceproject.org/170828000440 If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at: (309) 649-3141.

Happy Reading,

Christy Semande
