E-Book
District OR-1 e-book information
Students of District OR-1 have the option to use our online e-book collection. Online e-books are a way students can check out full-text books and read them on a computer, laptop, Chromebook, or any mobile device. It is an additional resource for students to use during this time and part of my plan is to continue to push this concept with students in the future. We have access to both fiction and nonfiction books, student favorites like Dog Man, Magic Tree House, Harry Potter, even picture books as well. Students in 4-6 were introduced to this during the first block rotation during library class. There are a lot of positives as we continue to move forward with teaching 21st-century skills. This does not include AR information, so you may use arbookfind.com to check and make sure there is an AR test for the book before checking it out.
We are part of a consortium of schools from Nebraska with ESU2 in Fremont being the hub. All students in grades K-12 have access to it. There are currently 5,600 titles in the elementary collection and 4,500 titles in the high school collection. Most of these books are not on the shelves in our libraries. With COVID-19 limiting student checkout to one book at this time, I feel that this is a good alternative for students to have. Students in grades K-12 have been sent an email with information on how to login, check out books, and open them. If an issue arises, please send Mr. Smidt an email smidt.mat@districtor1.net and in the subject line please type e-book question.
