New Children’s Digital Library launches across Georgia

The Georgia Public Library Service (GPLS) has launched eRead Kids, a new digital library available through all 407 public libraries in the state. The collection of almost 15,000 electronic and audiobooks is for children from pre-k through fourth grade.  The collection is a mix of fiction and non-fiction ebook and audiobook titles that can be downloaded onto computers, tablets, and smartphones. All Georgia families now can freely check out electronic books for their devices, encouraging the early reading that is so important to educational success.  GPLS has worked with children’s librarians across the state to select titles and identify the most advantageous offerings and pricing. eRead Kids is made possible by funding proposed by Gov. Brian Kemp and approved by the Georgia General Assembly. To access eRead Kids, you simply need your Georgia public library card and an internet connection.
