Reading
Please read the following document for advice on how to access the following services:
Reading Cloud: CHJS Library & Book Reviews
Oxford OWL sign in for children:
↑ Free Books, eBooks & Audio Books (Hampshire Libraries)
You can also access eBooks and eAudiobooks from your local library, using BorrowBox.
“The BorrowBox app makes it easy to browse, borrow and read or listen to your public library’s eBooks and eAudiobooks anywhere, everywhere.”
If you are a member of your local library, you can download and sign into this app. If you are not currently a member, you can sign up here.
With this app, just like the SLS books, we strongly recommend that you check which books your children are borrowing/reading to ensure they are of a suitable level & content, as unlike the SLS platform, there are no restrictions on the content for under 18’s – please read the disclaimer when you log in. On the plus side, other family members can join & borrow from here!
Remember to also visit your local library, when you can, for free access to thousands of books.
