Thank You Mme Reed, teacher-librarian, Shuswap Middle School (SMS) Library, for your April 15th blog post about Okanagan Regional Libary's (ORL) e-cards and e-resources:
Okanagan Regional Library eCards
You can apply for a public library eCard online!
It will give access to all their electronic resources, including e-books.

Once you have your eCard, you'll want to explore their collection of eBooks and learn how to download Libby, the app that lets you read on your personal device.
There are instructions and video tutorials about the Libby eReader app here:
