As Pflugerville ISD offers both in-person and virtual learning to students, the district has expanded its library services to begin offering curbside pickup, per a PfISD news release. Fifteen campuses began offering curbside library services to virtual learning students in October, and additional campuses are set to kick-start services in November and January.

Individual campus libraries will oversee their own procedures and pickup times, per the release. Campus principals will communicate with parents and families through campus communication channels, such as emails, campus library websites and social media.

“We’re excited to see our librarians come together and find solutions to getting our virtual learners physical books from their respective libraries,” said Daniela Guardiola, PfISD library media services coordinator, in the release. “Being able to have these students check out books from their library in addition to digital services we offer will help our students engage in reading even more while they are in virtual learning.”

Alongside physical copies of books, digital library catalogs are available via Sora to all students, whether virtual or in-person. Sora is a digital platform that compiles audiobooks, ebooks and other digital formats for academic and nonacademic readings.
