• We are excited to share Sora, a free reading app that may be accessed in the BCBE portal on student computers or downloaded to personal devices. Sora gives students and teachers free access to ebooks and audiobooks provided by BCBE libraries and the Baldwin County Public Library System. 
• Use OPAC to search for books and eBooks. Open OPAC and use the search bar to search for your topic or title. The Media Type bar has the option to choose book or eBook. The OPAC homepage also has links, user names and passwords to reference ebooks and non-fiction eBooks that have been purchased for student use. All of the reference and some of the non-fiction eBooks allow simultaneous use. View all eBooks available in OPAC. Use the "search within" feature to search for titles that interest you.
• Project Gutenberg is a library of over 60,00 public domain eBooks. Some are accessible with a Kindle and can be downloaded or read online. 
• Lit2Go is a free online collection of books, stories & poems in audio-book format. Each selection can be downloaded as a PDF and used as a read-along.
• Bloom's Literature database provides everything needed to research authors, works, characters, topics and themes. Biographical information and analysis are available for most classic and popular authors. The Shakespeare Center provides a large variety of resources devoted to Shakespeare's plays and sonnets. Ask your teacher or librarian for the access user and password or find the information on the Bloom's poster in the media center window.
• The Alabama Virtual Library provides all students, teachers, and citizens of the State of Alabama with online access to essential library and information resources. Many of the AVL's online books are available in the RHS online collection which can be accessed through OPAC.
