Does your school use Destiny?
As part of the eGO CT program, the Connecticut State Library wants to deliver free ebooks directly to schools. This is a free program for all K12 schools in Connecticut!
We are now offering a Baker & Taylor Boundless option for non-Destiny school sites for free access to the Connecticut State Library ebook collection. You can use the sign up form at the bottom of the page to sign up for Boundless.
What's in it for schools?
Bringing the Community Sharing initiative to your neighborhood means area schools can:
- Access a wealth of new, digital content for both students and teachers to enjoy
- Improve existing extra-curricular initiatives already in place for students, such as after-school literacy programs
- Pave the way for seamless cooperation with public library systems
- Source added curriculum-support materials for use in the classroom, off campus and as homework help thus creating a more robust learning environment for students
- Access customizable and systematic educational content that aligns with different ages and grade levels
- Integrate digital materials from the public library into the school’s online catalog and management system, such as Destiny® Library Manager
