Dear Families,

The Garfield School District is pleased to present Open eBooks, an app students are able to download and use for free. Open eBooks contains thousands of popular and award-winning titles that will allow your child to be able to read every day and at any moment using a tablet or a Smartphone! We hope that Open eBooks promotes a love of reading and encourages your child to read more often.

Research has shown that when students choose books at their level and interest, they will be more engaged in reading. We encourage students and their families to read together at every opportunity.

The eBooks were selected by a committee of 300 librarians to ensure a diverse, exciting and age-appropriate collection so that every child has a book to read and enjoy.
