February 2024 Edition

New Buttons, Widgets, and Logos!

As of January 11, our public library platform "Book Connections" is now "TeachingBooks for Libraries." Same resources, tools, and customer service, but a new logo and web address: library.teachingbooks.net. We encourage you to review the updated embedding and authentication options below and contact us if we can be of any assistance.
