“If you are going to circulate eReaders to middle schoolers, consider buying “bomb proof” covers for each eReader device.” This is the advice that a school librarian tendered after participating in the eBook Pilot project which concluded in May, 2012.

• Circulation of eBooks
• Developing eReader Collections
• Policies, Procedures, & Resources
• Promotion & Marketing
• Purchasing eReaders
• Technical Aspects
• Training
