Types of School and Library Programs:
Our school and library projects start with a Worldreader e-reading solution. It contains everything needed to bring digital reading to a school or library: e-readers, e-books, and Worldreader’s expertise. Find out more.
Individual
Individual programs allow students to have their own e-readers, providing maximum impact. In certain cases, schools permit students to take their e-readers home.
See the case study:
Shared
Shared programs let e-readers be shared between students within classrooms and school libraries. This e-reading model increases student exposure and encourages group work.
See the case study:
Community
Community programs often serve community members of all ages, ranging from children to adults, at public libraries or community resource centers. Community programs can allow patrons to check out e-readers, if they please.

Essential to this success is the involvement of the schools, libraries, and operational partners that utilize these e-reading solutions. The Early and Transitional Reading Programs team develops and maintains these essential partnerships while also continually innovating the suite of technologies that enhance Worldreader’s school and library e-reading projects.
