Terhune Foundation Supports Juvenile eBook Collection in the Curriculum Materials Center Curriculum Materials Center (CMC) received a $1,500 grant from the Terhune Foundation The David and Lorraine Cheng Library is grateful to the Albert Payson Terhune Foundation for its continued support and generosity. During the 2020-2021 academic year, the Curriculum Materials Center (CMC) received a $1,500 grant from the Terhune Foundation for the purchase of new children’s eBooks. The new materials will be added to the Library’s existing eBooks for Kids database. The new resources will be easily accessible to the William Paterson University community as they engage with early childhood and elementary students virtually or in-person in schools throughout northern New Jersey. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need to increase the size of the collection in the eBooks for Kids database. Several of the new eBook resources were used by participants in the Real Men Read program who conducted virtual readings with K-6 students. The Library plans to continue building its eBook collection to provide materials that can be accessed and read from any digital device with an internet connection. October 06, 2021
