The d39 Virtual Library features a variety of activities for Winter Break and Beyond. Students and their families can enjoy accessing new "staycation" virtual field trips and kid-friendly podcasts.

SORA is available for students to access ebooks provided by d39 and Wilmette Public Library. Students use their @wps39.org Google credential (note: for younger students, this is the same login used for Scootpad) to set up their account. Select the tutorial for your device.
