We have just added five new Nook ereaders to our technology section of the media center. We are in the process of loading books on them and sending home letters to 4-8th grade parents. The ereaders will be available for checkout. We will begin by allowing 4-8th graders to check them out with parent permission. If things go well, we will move down to 2nd graders eventually. However with 2nd and 3rd graders, parent will have to come to the media center to check them out with the child. Last year, we adopted a school policy regarding ereaders that they may be brought to school and used during AR reading time. This addition will allow some students who might otherwise never have that chance to do so.
