Last month, the White
House and Michelle Obama announced the release of the Open e-books App
available for iOS and android systems. This app is available to Title I,
military base, special education teachers, librarians, and by extension,
students.
Teachers may sign up to
receive codes for their students who may download the app and then e-books on
that app. The hope is to get more books
(e-books) in the hands of as many readers as possible, especially students that
don’t have ready access to books.
The White House partnered
with ten major publishers, Digital Public Library of America, First Book and
the New York Public Library to make this all possible.
As a Title I school, this
is something we are very interested in.
We’re hoping that very soon, we will be able gain access codes for our
students so that they may enjoy books at any time on any mobile device.

more about the Open e-books App.
