IMPORTANT! Due to copyright law, a read-aloud video of “Jumping Off Library Shelves” is NOT included. You will have to record yourself reading the book, or do a live stream of the read-aloud for students to access the book. If your library owns the interactive ebook that has audio read-aloud, you could also share how to read or access it through your online catalog or ebook management platform.
