If you have a book checked out and were not able to return it before school dismissed in March please return your book to the library when school resumes in August.
Escambia County Middle School has partnered with the Escambia County Cooperative Library System to offer your child access to eBooks. Libby is a free app where you can borrow eBooks and digital audiobooks from your public library. You can stream books with Wi-Fi or mobile data, or download them for offline use and read anytime, anywhere. In order to access the eBooks your child will need to sign up for a free eBooks library card. Mrs. Chavers, ECMS’s Media Specialist, will be offering the eBooks library card to all students at ECMS. If you are interested in getting a free eBooks library card for your child please call ECMS at, 368-9105 extension 5. With your eBooks card you can check out up to four items at a time. After your lending time has expired, the item will disappear from your device.
