PebbleGo Ebooks

We have been given a temporary login to a couple of Ebook platforms to see if we like them.  Capstone PebbleGo, PebbleGo Next, and the Capstone ebooks are available for you to use until February 15th.  Your kids can log in to read independently or they can choose to have them read aloud to them.  They can also log in from home, I believe.  There are several non-fiction books available, as well, for those of you who have students working on special projects.

To access them go to:

Number of Books:

PreK may take one book at a time to keep in the classroom.

First Graders may check out one book in the fall semester.  In the spring, they may begin to take home two books.
All other students may take home two books at a time.

All books may be checked out for up to two weeks, and may be renewed on an as needed basis.

Parents, please help to ensure your child is a good library citizen and returns his/her book on time. Library book bags should be used by your child, at all times, to store and transport their library book, thus helping them to be responsible library book caretakers.  We do not assign fines for overdue books but will assess a fine for a damaged or lost book.
