New Media Station in High School Library Allows Students to Download Audio Books
When students enter the Menasha High School Library the first thing they see is our new Media Station. With the swipe of a finger they are able to browse Overdrive (our eBook and audio book catalog) for books. With a few more swipes they are able to check out eBooks and download audio books to their devices.
For students without devices, the library has MP3 players and tablets available for check-out.
Don't have a Media Station at your school? All students and staff can check out audio books and eBooks from Overdrive (mjsd.lib.overdrive.com) 24/7 from their own computer/smartphone/tablet with a browser.
The best part - this is free to all users!

| Big Universe Big Universe is one of the websites that offers eBooks to our students. Student can use Big Universe from the Chromebooks or any computer. Big Universe offers tons of non-fiction and fiction books, so they could be used instead of big books. Students also have the ability to create their own eBooks. Big Universe has two new features this year: searching books by common core standards, and non-fiction/fiction book pairing. www.biguniverse.com More directions can be found here |
| Dates still left to learn about eBooks in our district |
If you want to learn about all the different eBooks our district has to offer, there are still opportunities coming up. In the sessions you will learn about Overdrive, Big Universe, StarWalk Media, and more. For those elementary teachers wanting non-fiction big books, teachers looking for lower or higher level books for students, books to fit the common core - I have a solution for you!
