During this time of online learning, the library has lots of easy to access eBooks for teachers and students! The quickest two for students to access are TumbleBooks (birth-elementary) and TeenBookCloud (middle and high school).
These require no username or password. Teachers can link the eBook directly into Canvas, Google Classroom, or another remote learning platform to give students immediate access.
Here are 3 of my favorites:

Bink and Gollie Two For One: You’re Special, Aren’t You?
