Finding AR Books - Basic Process

   Lee County Schools have recently begun participating in an Accelerated Reader program that uses a product called Accelerated Reader Enterprise, from Renaissance Learning, Inc.

   Although the library system does not have direct access to the program or the quizzes the schools use, we are continually trying to make the process for finding AR books in the library easier. We have developed several shortcuts to help you in the process.

 The basic process for finding AR books for your child to read is:

1. Go the the AR Bookfind site.
2. Search for your books by your criteria.
3. Copy the Author, Title, or ISBN information for the book that you need.
3. Go to our catalog and search for your books to see if they are available in our library system.
Finding AR Books - Shortcuts

1. Install our Catalog Search Toolbar for Internet Explorer or Firefox. Or do your searching from one of our search stations inside our branches (available now at Ft Myers branch, coming soon to others.)

2. Search for your books at the AR Bookfind site.

3. When you click on a book title that you have found on the AR Bookfind site, notice that the ISBNs at the bottom are now hot links to our catalog.

4. Click the ISBN number, and it will search for the book in our catalog.

5. Note that different editions of the same book have different ISBNs. If the first ISBN  displayed on the AR Bookfind site does not find your book in our catalog, click on the other ISBNs to check them as well.

6. The toolbar also helps check whether the library has books that you find at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and other book vendor sites. Click here for more info.
