The library provides digital books through Overdrive, using the Sora app. Books are just like a physical library--once copy can be borrowed at a time. You can borrow books out and return them through the app, and place a hold on a book if it is not available. No more late, lost, or damaged books!
Epic is a wonderful free resource for ebooks in the Early Years. Epic offers free access to many books Monday-Friday from 7am-3pm with a class code (if the class has signed up).
