CPL e-bOOKS

The CPS Libraries and Instructional Technology team has purchased licenses to an individual ebook library for every school in the district. This will allow schools to purchase ebooks for students and teachers to read to support remote learning. In addition, all schools will have access to the district's virtual library, which includes four amazing novels that can be read by all students and teachers across the district at the same time.

​

Please join us for a short training to learn how to access and use your school's ebook library, and how to select and purchase ebooks for your school. You can find the training dates and learn more about this exciting opportunity on our flyer.
