They can be checked out for use by teachers and students.

Smart Pass – educational study guides on CD “combine full-cast productions of classic literature texts with guided commentary and analysis, written by experienced, enthusiastic teachers…. The commentary explores the language and imagery, as well as the historical and social background to the text and its author. The tone is friendly and conversational, designed to be easily absorbed as well as to demonstrate critical thinking, to help students develop their study strategies, essay writing and planning skills….” {http://www.smartpass.org/student.html,  August 24, 2009}  The library has Smart Pass CD’s for many of Shakespeare’s most studied plays as well as other popular classics.  In our catalog, search the title you want and limit to “book on CD”.

TeenBookCloud from Tumblebooks is a curated database of e-books and other digital content for Middle Schools and High Schools, as well as Public Libraries.

In response to OCVID-19, Tumblebooks has made their collection free to libraries through August 31.  We hope these resources prove helpful to you.

The state office of library services (OLIS) has put together a list of on-line resources from your RI libraries useful for education and enrichment. We hope you find them helpful as you continue your home schooling efforts.
