FREE BOOKS

12.15.2015 By: Eliza, MiniBury Founder

DABhsXwuohY1In celebration of Read Is Fundamental’s 50th anniversary, RIF has partnered with ustyme to give the gift of a billion free e-books to the communities they serve. All families across the nation can access 50 classic e-books absolutely free, without advertising or fees of any kind.

Children can read e-books of their choosing independently, side-by-side with a caring adult or remotely in a live video call using the ustyme app. The app works for most devices, including Apple and Android devices, Chromebooks and any computer with internet access. Books including classics such as Goldilocks, Little Red Riding Hood, The Three Little Pigs and more are digitally mastered in HD and available in English and Spanish.

Be sure to tell your family and friends about the Billion e-Book Gift from ustyme and RIF with this easy-to-use toolkit.

Download your free 50 e-book library today!

Share the magic of stories this holiday season. Pass this email along to anyone who loves spends their day or part of their day with a child.

Hello, I’m Eliza. I founded MiniBury in 2012 because I had a hunch that I wasn't the only parent in Addison County missing fun family friendly events. I love the challenge of finding and sharing information about our community to other parents.
