Mar 20th Free Audible books, library cards, other resources.

Hi students!

Audible Books is offering free audio book downloads. You listen to someone reading a book to you. They have almost every book. This is a great way to work on your listening skills while getting some pseudo-human contact. I highly recommend listening to a book while we are all staying home! You can do it together with your family! https://stories.audible.com/start-listen to get started

Also for books check out other options on the school blog. https://iblog.dearbornschools.org/akwfhs/2020/03/18/where-can-i-get-books-to-read-while-we-are-close/

Dearborn Public Library has set up a way for residents of Dearborn/Dearborn Heights to remotely register for temporary Dearborn Public Library cards.  These cards will allow access to all Dearborn Public Library electronic materials.  Instructions and highlights of available eResources is available through the following link:  https://dearbornlibrary.org/wordpress/need-a-temporary-library-card/
