Wake County Library gives you great access!

                 

Way back in June, I wrote about one of my favorite online reading resources:  NC Kids Digital Library. (You can find that post here.)   My Wake County Public Library card (and PIN) gives me access to all of the ebooks available from Wake County Libraries and the many fantastic books available from the NC Kids Digital Library.   It is even more convenient to use those 2 resources within the Libby app.   I can search for books in either library and check them out and read them using that one app once I have entered my library card information. 

If you do not have a library card, you are not out of luck!  The Wake County Library is offering a temporary card and PIN on their website.   Click here to request yours!

Some of the books I have read from NC Kids Digital Library since we have been out of school:

Bob by Wendy Mass and Rebecca Stead:   This would be a great family read-aloud.   Chapters alternate between Bob's point of view (Bob is an unusual creature!) and Livy's point of view (Livy is an 11-year-old girl visiting her Grandmother in Australia.  A fun, heartwarming story!

All the Answers by Kate Messner:  A fun book for 4th and 5th graders.  Ava, who always studies but never knows the answers when she takes a test, quickly finds a pencil to take to school on the day of her math test.  She soon learns that this pencil has some sort of special magic to it!  Is knowing all the answers the best thing?






Other Words for Home by Jasmine Warga:   Wow!  What a wonderful book!   Jude's whole world is in a seaside town in Syria.   As violence moves closer and closer to her town, she and her mother move to America to live with her uncle.  She misses her father and brother who have stayed behind while she and her mother begin to call America home.   This book would be a wonderful selection for a mature 5th grade reader.





I would love to see what your families are reading!
