Role of the North Teacher Librarian

Teacher Librarians (TL) acquire, promote, and maintain dynamic and compelling resources to support curriculum and inspire a love of reading. The TL cultivates partnerships within the school and community to design and model lessons and to promote engagement and lifelong learning. The TL empowers all learners and creates an environment of inclusivity and collaboration in the library.

eBooks & Audiobooks

Like adult readers, some students prefer digital texts while others prefer print. Noblesville Schools is proud to offer an abundance of texts in both formats in support of the district's mission to create lifelong readers and learners. eBooks and audiobooks have accessibility features that can improve the reading experience for many PreK-12 readers. These features may include the ability to

• Enable read aloud
• Speed up or slow down a narrator
• Adjust text size and background color
• Mark up pages with digital annotation tools

Most importantly, however, these digital collections promote reading momentum by providing access to books in the evenings, on weekends, and during breaks. It is a goal of Noblesville Schools to develop voluminous, joyful readers. Research points to independent reading as the single factor most strongly associated with reading achievement (Krashen, 2004).

Sora

Sora allows students to browse juvenile and young adult digital materials within the Hamilton East Public Library Overdrive collection of eBooks and audiobooks. Students log in to Sora with their Google email address and password and can find a shortcut in the ELA section on Clever.
