Did you know we have eBooks for kids?

OverDrive
Our collection is mostly chapter books (Children’s Fiction), with a small collection of picture books (Children’s Fiction) and nonfiction titles to explore. From classics like “Heidi” by Johanna Spyri and “Because of Winn Dixie” by Kate DiCamillo to newer titles like “Big Nate: Game On” by Lincoln Pierce and the “Ivy and Bean” series by Annie Barrows there is something for everyone.

Overdrive can be accessed from Explore Resources under Find, and on the homepage Download.

Bookflix
Children can watch a story, and learn more with a nonfiction book. All you need is the internet. A video storybook from Weston Woods is paired with a related nonfiction eBook from Scholastic.

Bookflix can be accessed through Explore eResources under Find.
