E LIBRARY A NEW ENDEAVOR

Dear Parents,
Greetings!!!
Ask anyone with a big book collection, and they'll tell you moving them were the hardest part of the
move. Take down a bookshelf and there's often no less than four or possibly up to eight. This is the
single greatest argument for welcoming e-books.
We are delighted to inform you that the school has taken an endeavor of organizing E library access
to the students and their parents in collaboration with Britannica. It is a trial session for students and
teachers, where in through collective feedback of them, the school would purchase the license of few
useful books.
The User id and password will be sent through message on Sunday i.e. 10 July 2016. The access of Elibrary is valid till 7 August 2016.
We want you as the stakeholders to utilize it judiciously and give your requisite feedback in the school
almanac latest by 9 August 2016.
