Watch On-Demand Now.

On February 24, 2016, First Book partnered with the White House, New York Public Library, Digital Public Library of American and Baker & Taylor to launch Open eBooks, a new initiative and e-reader app that will make thousands of popular, top-selling eBooks available to children in need for free. The initiative is designed to address the challenge of providing digital reading materials to children living in low income households, and offers unprecedented access to quality digital content, including a catalog of eBooks valued at more than $250 million. Adults who work with children in need through libraries, schools, shelters and clinics, out of school programs, military family services, early childhood programs and other capacities can qualify for Open eBooks credentials by first signing up with First Book and then requesting Open eBooks access for the children they serve. Students can download the free Open eBooks app to their individual devices from the App Store or Google Play and enter their access code to start enjoying Open eBooks. Learn more about this tool and how it can be used to help the children that you serve.

Earn one-hour of PD credit for participating.
