Junior School Resource Centre
Hello from the Library. I thought I would take the time in this newsletter article remind you of our online reading library Overdrive.
Overdrive is our online eBook and audiobook library programme, which is offered to all sectors of the College. The Year 1 to 4 students will be introduced to Overdrive using their iPads over the next few weeks. Overdrive is a good way of offering the boys choice and variety, and as a supplement to their Reading Eggs and home readers that are targeted to specific reading ability levels.
The Year 5 students currently log in under their own username and password, accessing the juvenile readers and audio books.
For eager parents who wish to access our collection: enter through the iLibrary tab on the HOME.SCOTCH homepage, click on the Overdrive icon, then follow the prompts listed below:
- The first time you download an eBook or audiobook to a device you will be prompted to either enter an existing Adobe ID or to create a new one.
- If you do not already have an Adobe ID there will be a link that takes you to the Adobe website to create one.
- Once the ID is successfully created you can return to Adobe Digital Editions or Overdrive and enter your Adobe ID (email address) and password to authorise the device.
