eBooks


Bitterroot Family:                       
Bitterroot now offers eBooks and audiobooks free through the library! Students can browse the collection of more than 250 titles in a variety of subjects including classic and current fiction.  This collection can be accessed 24/7 by visiting our school library website and clicking on D2 eLibrary:

Staff and students can check out titles using their library barcode number and download to a computer or mobile device.  If you would like your barcode, just let me know and I can email it to you. By using the help module you will be able to find instructions on how to download to your personal device.  Once downloaded, titles can be transferred to an iPod®, eBook reader, and many other supported devices to enjoy on the go. Books are automatically returned, or can be returned early.
For the month of February we are having a contest for a student to have the opportunity to win an ereader, they will be accessing the D2 eLibary site with their school barcode and taking a survey.  That survey when submitted will qualify them to win an ereader.  I will be sending a newsletter home with students giving parents the information about this new program.
Please let me know if you have any questions.  I look forward to offering this new service at Bitterroot !
Sincerely,
Monica :)
