Audio and eBooks Our digital library initiative Overdrive, also known as the McKinney Digital Library, has grown by leaps and bounds this year. Just like our print book collections, eBook and Audio book collections grow each year we begin our purchases. Unlike print collections, eBooks don't get lost or damaged and need to be replaced. That means that each year our digital library gets larger and more diverse. Audio books have become extremely popular for our teachers who commute and for families who take automobile vacations. We chose the Overdrive company for two very important reasons: their books can be used on different devices (they are not limited to one type of reader or audio device) and it is the same company as McKinney Public Library uses. Once you have set up your device, you can borrow books from either library. MISD's library, of course, specializes in children's and young adult literature, and we have many more titles in those genres than the public library carries. This makes for a good partnership. An easy way to get started is to go to the Evans Library Web Page, click on MISD Digital Library on the top menu. This page tells your student how to log in and has links for help sheets for setting up your device and finding the books you want. Please call Mrs. Owens if you have any questions. Remember our Digital Library never closes! Books area available 24/7 and all throughout the summer! Summer Reading! We hear about the detrimental effects of the "summer slide," when students begin to forget what they have learned the year before. One easy way to help with this is to keep them engaged in meaningful learning but shhh! Don't tell them it's educational, just tell them it's for enjoyment. When parents ask for a summer reading list to keep their students engaged and prepare them for the next year, I always say just keep them reading! I have posted three summer reading lists as suggestions for books that are currently popular and also will aid in their understanding of the next year's curriculum. Many are historical fiction, which is a most enjoyable way to learn about history, along with some non-fiction for science and math, and cultural fiction. We hope for our students that they discover their love of reading as well as the information that is embedded in these stories. The lists will be posted on the Evans Library Resource Center website . Any books marked with an * are also available through the MISD Digital Library Happy Reading! Evans Middle School Helpful Numbers
