About E-Read kids, https://coweta.axis360.baker-taylor.com/
Georgia’s students have to new tool for success this school year: eRead Kids digital library. It is available through all 407 public libraries in the state.
The collection of more than 15,000 electronic and audio books is for children from pre-K through fourth grade.
The collection is a mix of fiction and nonfiction ebook and e-audio book titles that can be downloaded onto computers, tablets and smartphones. Georgia families now can freely check out electronic books, encouraging the early reading that is so important to educational success. GPLS has worked with children’s librarians to identify the most advantageous offerings and pricing. eRead Kids is made possible by funding proposed by Gov. Brian Kemp and approved by the Georgia General Assembly. https://georgialibraries.org/eread-kids-digital-library/
If parents do not have a library card they can go to our website and apply for an e-card. This is only available to those that do not already have a card.
