We have many students at LMS that enjoy
reading. We would like to share the following
ways they can continue to read
from home during distance learning.
Open eBooks
Open eBooks, through First Book, offers a huge collection of eBooks to our LMS students.
First Book
From the First Book website:
"Thanks to your child’s educator/librarian, you are now able to download and use the Open eBooks app for free. With this app, you and your child can access a library of thousands of popular and award winning eBooks for free! We hope the Open eBooks app helps you to further support and engage in your child’s learning and foster their love of reading beyond the classroom." Internet access is necessary to download up to 10 books at any one time, but books may be read offline on the device or phone once downloaded.
Mrs. Moore, LMS Library Media Specialist, will be happy to send the instructions, codes, and pins to anyone, student or staff, who emails her directly asking for one. She will also send a code and pin to parents/guardians on behalf of their child if they email her a request and include their child’s name and grade level in their email. Each code and pin is unique.
