We believe the skills to effectively locate, ethically use, and critically evaluate information are as important as factual knowledge and should be taught to all CVU students. We want all students to value and enjoy reading, literature, and free speech as a cornerstone of a democratic society.

Kindles in the library

posted Oct 19, 2009 10:41 PM by Ellen Arapakos   [ updated Dec 13, 2010 10:13 AM ]

We have two Kindles in the library available to check out. As with pricier items, like calculators or A/V equipment, students need to have an adult sign a permission form in order to borrow a Kindle.

Kindles can be borrowed for one week, and we currently have them loaded with lots of literary classics. For details about the titles loaded, search kindle in our library catalog.

If you've been wanting to try out an E-reader, this is your opportunity! BTW, the text-to-speech and text enlargement features are good.
