How to put books in your cart and on hold
Digital E-Books and Audiobooks
Libby by Overdrive is a great service that offers audiobooks and e-books 
that you can download to your computer, MP3 player, iPod, phone, Kindle, or e-book reader. Patrons can access Libby by Overdrive using the website or the Libby app.
To register: Select DRML from list of libraries. Enter the bar code number from the back of your library card, including all letters and symbols. Enter your Catamount password.
We now have access to two different catalogs within Libby, one provided by the Vermont Department of Libraries, and one provided by the Green Mountain Library Consortium. In order to add a second catalog to your Libby account, click the icon in the top right-hand corner of the Libby app, choose the “Add A Library” option from the menu, and repeat the above steps. You’ll just need to choose the other catalog from the two options after inputing DRML as your library. Now, you can swap between the two catalogs by using that same menu accessed from the top-right hand corner. It’s as simple as that!
Use: Search for ebooks – including Kindle books – or audiobooks. Click on your selection. Either click borrow or place a hold. If it is a Kindle book, click on borrow now and follow the Amazon link to download the book. Kindle books must be returned through Amazon – click on content and devices (in your Amazon account) and find the book in the list of content. Click on the return book option.

Cool Links: Quality Educational Youtubers
Spice up your at-home tutelage with an old teacher’s trick: videos! Two of my favorite Youtube content producers are Kurzegesagt and Crash Course, which both offer bite-sized lessons on big topics.
Kurzegesagt (In a Nutshell) creates animated videos with the mission, “to make science look beautiful. Because it is beautiful.” The science they are delving into can be quite advanced, such as black holes and the theory of consciousness, so this may be better suited to the middle school age, but their explanations are such that they are not overly detail-oriented, instead focusing on the big picture.

Crash Course is a channel founded by veteran bloggers and authors John and Hank Green, covering a vast array of topics such as world history, sociology, economics, science, literature and more. After achieving popularity with their video blogs, the Green brothers have both written young adult novels and have a great understanding of how to make topics appealing to a young adult audience. They’ve since expanded the channel with additional teachers, all with the goal of engaging curious learners in fun and interesting ways. https://www.youtube.com/user/crashcourse
