Readers are independent and creative about getting books and know how to utilize resources such as the school and public libraries.
- One major resource is the school library and our wonderful librarian, Ms. Ahart.
- Use the school library website.
- Come to the library during lunch time or during Project REAL if you have a pass. However, this is up to your teacher’s discretion and you should not abuse this privilege.
- Another resource is the public library.
- Now that you have a valid library card and pin number (birth month and day), go to http://www.bklynlibrary.org/ and log in.
- Complete personal information.
- Search for a specific author or title or browse. Put a book on hold at your local library or add to your shelves for later. This can be done by clicking on the icon to the right of the book title and choosing the closest library to you to pick it up.
- Try downloading the app on your phone for the public library.
- In order to borrow e-books or audiobooks, you need a Kindle app or the overdrive.com app which are both free. You can borrow downloadable books; upload them at home and you can read them on an e-reader. You cannot read on your phone in school but you can read on an ereader.
- You can put up to 10 items and 10 separate e-books on hold.
- In the future, renew books to help you make sure you don't forget to return them on time.
- Also, research, find articles, and print these sources from the website.
- What are other ways you can acquire books for independent reading?
