Feeling bored and restless and looking for something to do? Take a look at our library's Extended Learning webpage for activities for all ages. There are non-technology options to get you away from your screen and reading/literacy options to keep families reading even while library buildings are closed. The more learning activities section offers varied activities including computer coding, stop-motion animation, digital breakouts (online problem-solving games), virtual tours for zoos, museums and national parks, and much more! (I just did a Harry Potter-themed Digital Breakout with my daughter and we had a lot of fun.)
Take a look at the video tour to see a preview of some of the fun and stimulating activities available for your family.

Capstone ebooks (grades PreK - 6) are free until June 30, 2020. Their site includes 4,000 nonfiction ebooks, including sports, science, animals, history, biography. You can search by AR level, and the site includes the AR quiz number. You can read the book on your own, or the “auto play” feature reads the book aloud to you. If your student likes nonfiction, I recommend this site for some great reading options.
These two platforms, recommended for grades 3 and up, include over 300 ebooks and digital audiobooks. These resources are licensed just for Sterling students and passwords are required. Take a look at our detailed instructions for accessing these resources. The instructions include two excellent video tutorials created by Mrs. Michelle Miller, our library assistant.
Ebooks include: Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Kansas City Chiefs, Kansas City Royals, The Hunger Games, Rick Riordan books, Little Women, Peter Pan, sports, romance, classics and more!
The video tutorial below was created for Sterling High School, but the grade school site works the same way. SGS students should use their AR username and password to log in to Discover.
Join us for a short video tour of Tumblebooks. Tumblebooks features read-aloud, read-along, animated storybooks. It also includes some chapter books, nonfiction, and graphic novels. Many of the books have AR tests available, and you can search by AR level. Our school's Tumblebooks subscription is funded by the Moxley Foundation.
