Does your school use Destiny?
As part of the eGO CT program, the Connecticut State Library wants to deliver free ebooks directly to schools. There is a $500 fee to join, but the cost is covered by the Connecticut State Library - so there is no cost to schools!
What's in it for schools?
Bringing the Community Share 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
