I'm re-sending this e-mail to the Ready to Read list because I've gotten some questions about downloading and am worried we missed some of you! Below find instructions for downloading the 2024 iREAD materials, as well as other assorted summer reading info. Please let me know if you have questions and/or if we're not getting this to the correct person at your library.

Best, Greta

DOWNLOAD INSTRUCTIONS:

iREAD 2024 Resource Guide Instructions for Oregon libraries:
1.      Open the link below to create/or log into your iREAD account. If you have not ordered from iREAD before, you will be prompted to create an account. If you have an existing account, you must log in. Note: on the iREAD website, ILA refers to the Illinois Library Association:

https://www.ireadprogram.org/redeem

Note: this is a designated URL to redeem your code, and you must use this link to redeem your code. Your code cannot be redeemed through the regular iREAD website.
2.      Copy and paste the following promo code into the box provided and select redeem:

iREAD2024OREGONRG
3.      Once the code is redeemed, you can download the Resource Guide directly from the confirmation screen or the confirmation sent to your email. These are large files, and they may take some time to download. If you have issues with your download speeds, ensure nothing else is running while downloading. If you have trouble downloading, return to the confirmation sent to your email and try downloading from the link in the email.

Please don't attempt to re-download using the code redemption process. You can access your confirmation email or account if you'd like to re-download. Each code redemption counts toward the number of codes the State Library of Oregon has purchased for libraries in the state. If you are unsure whether you or someone from your library has redeemed the code already or how to access the download, please email iread at ila.org<mailto:iread at ila.org> to inquire. Codes expire June 1, 2024.
4.      Note: Two parts to the Resource Guide need to be downloaded:
*        Part 1 contains the content of the Resource Guide.
*        Part 2 contains the graphics.

Questions or problems with redeeming the code or downloading the Resource Guide? Contact iREAD Customer Service at iread at ila.org.<mailto:iread at ila.org>

Best,
Greta
