ebooks

Take a look at our collection of 64 ebooks! Here is what you need to do to get started.

The link to FollettShelf can always be found on the Thornhill Library Home Page, under the heading Educational Databases and eBooks. Click on FollettShelf.



The link will open in a new window. Browsing options are on the left sidebar. Click on a title to find out a little bit about it, how many pages, and other publishing information.



To read the ebook, click on Read Online.


I window will pop up asking for User Name and Password (read/book). Once you enter this info you are ready to read! 

Take your time and be sure to check out all the features. Many books have a read aloud feature (although it sounds like a robot), which can be helpful for beginning readers. When you are finished reading one ebook, click on the Close Book icon in the right corner, close the window, and click on another! 

Please let me know about your experience, and let me know if we should add some more titles to our ebook library.

OUSD also has a wonderful selection of Enclopaedia Brittanica ebooks that are linked to the Thornhill Library Home Page. These ebooks, along with Brittanica Online (also linked on the Library Home Page), are a great resource for student research projects! OUSD doesn't want me to publish these passwords, so please contact me to access these links.
