Iowa Area Education Agencies provide Iowa AEA Online, consisting of eight dynamic online resources, to all Iowa accredited schools. Students and staff have access at school and at home (Internet access required), 24 hours a day, seven days a week! These online resources support the content standards for school curriculum and student learning by bringing a wealth of information to teachers and students wherever they may be, with just the click of a mouse. To learn more about these resources and how to access them, contact your teacher or teacher librarian.

 Our library patrons now have anytime, anywhere access to a dynamic collection of digital audio books through the new library service Bridges. With a valid Belmond Public Library card, you can log onto the digital library website, install free software, check out and download popular and classic audio books to your PC and then transfer to a portalbe MP3 player or even burn some titles to CD.  New book titles are added to the collection each month. You can check out up to two titles at a time, and at the end of the 7 or 14 day lending period, the audio books will expire from your PC and be automatically returned to the Bridges digital collection.  The title will still appear on your PC but will be inaccessible and can be deleted. With the digital titles, there are no late fees or damage costs.  The service is free, easy-to-use, and best of all, available anytime from anywhere in the world.  Stop in the library for more information.
