Where do I find some books to read now that I can’t go to our school library?
At times like these when no two days are the same, at least we have iPads and there are free books to read online! Yay! Two really great resources available right on your devices are SORA (the little blue marshmallow guy) and stories through Audible.
In addition to excellent title choice provided by our local schools, students who have a library card can also add Deschutes Public Library to their SORA account using their library card number. Our local library is AMAZING and has added up to 15 simultaneous checkouts to many of their popular titles. Try this link to go directly to our district SORA collection. When it prompts you to log in, remember that your username is your firstlastname and your password is the super-secret one that you created to get on the wifi at school or log in to a computer.
I also have really been enjoying the selection of audiobooks that Audible has made available. In the past two weeks that have continued to add to what is available through their Audible stories, found here and it doesn’t require any log in.
As your @lavabearian, I will be attempting to update this space as frequently as possible, trying to create an avenue to still stay connected to students, provide resources for staff and students, and also continue to share my love of books. I hope you are all well and remember to reach out to anyone at school if you need anything. We will do our best to help any way we can.
At least now I have a reason to use this meme 🙂
