Students are allowed to check out one book for a week.  If a book is being used to do a class report, the book may be checked out as long as necessary to complete the report.

Suggestions for the care of books:

• Always use a book bag or backpack to carry books (a sturdy grocery bag will do).
• Wash hands before handling books.
• Do not eat or drink while reading.
• Do not write in books
• Keep books away from small children and pets.
• Find a special place to keep books.
• Open book and turn pages from the top right hand corner.

Inform the Media Center specialist if a book needs to be repaired.  Special book tape is required to repair torn pages.  Please do not attempt to fix the problem yourself.

OVERDRIVE: ebook library

Freedom Elementary happily introduced a new, free service providing digital books through Overdrive. The Overdrive website is an extension of Freedom ‘s physical library, but it’s online and available 24/7.

Students’ login with a user number (which is their student number used to login to Skyward) and password (which is their last name.)

To use OverDrive, go to the secure website at http://freedom.lib.overdrive.com. Login using their student ID # and last name.

The title they select can be read right from the browser or downloaded to a computer, tablet, smartphone, or eReader. At the end of the checkout period, the book is automatically returned.

Freedom Elementary Media Center is excited to launch the OverDrive service!
