Over Drive
OverDrive is a great reason to apply and use your Middletown Library card! If you are not a Middletown resident you can use your MTPS Educator ID to open a library card. OverDrive gives you instant access to the library's eBooks, audiobooks, and videos. The OverDrive app is one of the top-rated eBook apps available for iOS, Android, Chromebook, Mac OS, Windows, and Windows Phone.
Google Lit Trips
Lit Trips are downloadable files that mark the journeys of characters from famous literature on the surface of Google Earth. Along the way, placemarks with pop-up windows contain "just in time" resources including relevant media, thought-provoking discussion starters, and links to supplementary information about "real world" references in that portion of the story. Our focus is on creating engaging and relevant literary experiences for students.
