It allows pupils across the Falkirk to borrow and download digital books and audiobooks for free. Just like a physical library, pupils can browse the &#8220;shelves,&#8221; reserve popular titles, and return books when they are finished &#8211; all through the app on their iPad or via a web browser.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\" data-path-to-node=\"6\"><b data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">\ud83c\udf93 Why is it useful?<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"7\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Instant Access to Choice:<\/b> Pupils have access to a huge range of titles that might not be available in their physical school library, from the latest bestsellers to classic curriculum texts.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Support for Dyslexia and Visual Impairments:<\/b> The eBook reader allows pupils to change the font (including a dedicated OpenDyslexic font), adjust text size, and change background colors to make reading more comfortable.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Audiobooks for Literacy:<\/b> Audiobooks are a fantastic way to improve vocabulary and listening skills.
