You can borrow ebooks from the high school library using your own device at home. Follow these easy steps. 1) Download the free MackinVia app onto your smartphone or tablet. 
2) Log in to MackinVia using your username that you use to log in to the school computers. Password is the same username. 3) Read or borrow a book right on your own device! 4) Request an ebook - see Ms. Arkans in the library to request an ebook for us to purchase, or use the online suggestion form on the Books page at the top of the website.
