eBook Collections
WPS provides robust digital libraries to all students, teachers & parents 24/7
E-BOOK COLLECTIONS
Provided by "Boundless by Baker & Taylor"
All eBooks in these collections can be read on your computer's Internet browser and other electronic devices.
Students and staff will log into the system using their district-assigned Google user names and passwords or through Clever.
To read eBooks, on your personal iPad or smartphone after you first download the Boundless app (free from the App Store, Android Market, Google Play, etc.). Once downloaded, simply click on "Search for My Library" and type "Wahoo." Then click either "Wahoo Elementary" or "Wahoo Middle/High School" to enter the library collection. Use your student's email and password for access.
These digital libraries are fully compatible with the district's 1:1 iPad and MacBook initiatives in grades 7-12. Other students can utilize this resource on any Internet browser, or on their own personal devices. Right now, this service is compatible with Mac iOS (iPad, iPod Touch and iPhone), Windows, Android, Nook, and Kindle Fire devices (Unfortunately at this time it will not function on other Kindle devices).
The Boundless app will allow you to both check out and read your eBooks, using the same user name and password. Boundless offers an interactive, graphic e-reading experience for emerging young readers, and text-to-speech capability, which syncs the book and the audio. Your eBooks will "check in" automatically on their due dates, but please check in books manually when you finish reading them, so they are available to other students who are waiting for those titles.
Parents: You also have open access to this service, using your students' account information on your home devices.

Wahoo Public Schools had at one time partnered with Educational Service Unit #2 in Fremont to provide our students with robust eBook collections and during that time, had amassed 16,000 books. This was at one time called "Axis360". However, that partnership no longer exists but many of the books still do--unfortunately, some of the collection will expire. Please contact the Library/Media Specialist for your building if you have further questions.
