This program will help us to develop recommended best practices, resources, and training materials related to using iPads in the school library.

The iPad Mobilary program supports the formation of a community of learners around the use of iPads in the library. Each participating librarian will be awarded $1,000 to purchase additional apps and eBooks for the library iPads. It is expected that librarians will continue to be involved in learning related to the iPads on an ongoing basis. ||  ||  ||
