Week 9 - Learning Express

Once again, this is an intriguing resource that I have never used.  After poking around a little bit, I settled in to explore the ebook offerings:

From the home page, bottom right, click the link for eBooks. The list will open in a new window. Browse the titles and take a look at one that interests you.

Because I am an elementary school librarian, I of course started by clicking on the category "elementary" (and appreciated that the books were divided by age group/ theme).  There was only one book for elementary aged students and it was a "Getting Ready for 4th Grade Assessments" text, which seemed like it would be a stretch for most 4th graders to sit down and read.

For older kids and adults, however, the offerings are exceptional.  I thought this resource would be particularly useful for adults looking for a job, or looking to expand their skills within the job that they hold.  For public libraries, this would be absolutely a gold mine.  I appreciated also that there were several titles on passing the U.S Citizenship test, and a number of those were available in Spanish.

All in all, LearningExpress appears to be an empowering tool for adults and young people seeking to improve their skills and knowledge!
