Quick Summary
One of the easiest ways to help students discover great books is by using the direct links to Ebooks Minnesota's curated school collections.
In addition to browsing the full collection, Ebooks Minnesota offers dedicated Elementary School, Middle School, and High School collections. These direct links make it simple for educators, librarians, parents, and students to go straight to books that are appropriate for a specific age group, eliminating the need to sort through the entire catalog.
These collections are especially useful for:
- Classroom reading and independent reading time
- School and public library reading recommendations
- Homework and research support
- Homeschool families looking for age-appropriate materials
- Parents helping children find their next book
Because each collection has its own web address, libraries can easily add links to their websites, online catalogs, LibGuides, newsletters, or school resource pages. Staff can also share the appropriate link during reference interactions or classroom visits, making it quicker for students to begin exploring.
Whether you're introducing a young reader to their first chapter book, helping a middle school student find a new favorite series, or connecting a high school student with fiction and nonfiction for personal interest or school assignments, these curated collections provide a simple starting point.
The next time you're promoting Ebooks Minnesota, consider sharing the direct links to the Elementary, Middle School, and High School collections. They're an easy way to help readers of every age discover books that are right for them. Access them individually or via the ELM Portal.
