Wright Families,

**What is Open eBooks? ** The Open eBooks app will give kids from low-income families access to a digital library of thousands of popular and award-winning children’s and YA eBooks for free! Never before have educators and librarians had the ability to actively teach digital literacy, encourage family engagement, and share the love of reading through millions of mobile devices already in the hands of young people and their families. Open eBooks makes this possible. The free app allows kids of all ages and their caregivers to instantly download up to 10 eBooks at a time to their mobile digital devices. Each eBook will be available for 56 days before it must be renewed. Students and their families can choose eBooks based on the topics that get them excited about reading and learning, and search for eBooks by title or author. The Open eBooks app is intended for children to use at home for pleasure reading (independently or with their families). Each student will need one Access Code and Pin combination to use on his or her family’s device at home. **Let's Get Started! ** Google Play ** or ** iTunes = = **Open the app and create an account by using the Access Code and Pin from below. **Search for or choose a suggested title, download, and start reading.
