Using Epic! to Expand Your Collection



While I have an impressive collection in my school library (it has taken three years for me to update it properly), it never fails that there is something that I don't have and need to stretch my resources.

This is where Epic comes in to save the day! Our 5th grade students must complete a Social Studies Fair project every Fall. After they chose their subject area, the teacher emailed the list to me. I had plenty of books about some of the subjects, but in others, I was sorely lacking. I was able to find the other books on Epic! Most of my teachers have their own Epic classroom, but for those that don't, I created "classes" and gave out the class code to teachers.

We are an AR school, so I have also created collections for each AR Reading Level! Students have access to so many more books because we are taking advantage of Epic in our building.
