I am excited to announce that Lord Selkirk School Division is now offering access to e-books through a platform called Overdrive. If you are a patron of Gaynor Family Regional Library, you may have already used this service. The app that you would be looking for to add to your device is called Sora. And it looks like this: Through a desk top computer the link to this free e-book service is: manitobaconca.libraryreserve.com/10/45/en/SignIn.htm?url=Default.htm Here is how the e-book platform will appear: Simply use your school computer login to access the library.
