New Kid’s/Teen eContent Website

The SALON eContent website has expanded its services with a new digital collection website experience just for kids / teens. The main digital collection, http://salon.sals.edu, now has a separate site to provide a safe and easy browsing experience for kids / teens.

This appealing and user-friendly page contains eBooks and audiobooks. Browsing can be done by subject, reading level or interest level. Check this page out now.

The Kid’s /Teen Collection site filters the overall digital collection to just show Children’s and Young Adult content, which gets kids / teens to the titles they want faster! This new service, powered by OverDrive, is free for users with a library card. Digital titles are available anytime, anywhere and expire automatically, so no need to worry about late fees.
