Just because you’re learning remotely, doesn’t mean that you don’t have access to the library. You can browse the Skyview collection online, place a hold and pick books up at Skyview. Watch this video to learn how!
Books can be picked up on scheduled days (Wednesdays), or contact Mrs. Miller the librarian, at mmiller2@kpbsd.k12.ak.us to make an appointment for pick-up.

Another publisher has offered free audiobooks and eBooks during this time of learning from home. The books on this site are geared for ages 5-14, but they are sorted by age group. There are only a few books in this collection, but they are free. Follow the instructions on the link below, but in summary, add a book to your cart, select either the audiobook or eBook option (they will be free), check out (you will have to enter your address), and press the pay button. Make sure you have only the free books selected. Then you will get an e-mail with a link to the books. Enjoy.

Stuck at home? So is Aiden!
Join Tuesdays @ 10 a.m. Alaska time for this weekly webcast serial of
AIDEN TYLER, QUARAN-TEEN, read to you by Rex Ogle, the author! Watch previous weeks any time (see below).
In weeks 1-3, we met Aiden Tyler in chapters 1-5 of his new & original real-time story, AIDEN TYLER, QUARAN-TEEN. Aiden discovered that COVID-19 is a real thing, experienced pandemonium at a toilet paper-free store, “saw” his friends and even met someone from Denmark. He even taught us to find the joy in our current circumstance. What else can we learn from Aiden?
This is currently week 4 of the series (April 14, 2020). This is the perfect virtual get-away for a fun and relatable escape from your own quarantines!
