I make a point of bringing my 8th graders to the Library every Monday. This year, however, I knew things would be a little different with the iPads. For starters, our Library is now offering ebooks on loan. For some ebooks, we have only a few licenses, meaning only a few students can &#8216;check out&#8217; the ebook at a time, and for other ebooks we have unlimited licenses. The students can download the ebook from our Library app (Destiny), &#8216;rent&#8217; it for a couple of weeks, and then on the due date, **poof** it disappears! This means you can check out a book without ever stepping a foot into the library! This is great for kids who are absent a lot, who go on vacation, or who devour books at a breakneck pace.<\/p>\n<p>To better utilize the iPads for reading purposes, I created this handout to help my students discover new and exciting digital reading materials. There are also some fantastic tips for finding your next great reading book. You can download the entire 3-page PDF file here:\u00a0<a title=\"3-page PDF file here\" href=\"http:\/\/www.kristendembroski.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/How-To-Find-a-Great-Book-KD.pages\">How To Find a Great Book KD<\/a>.
