Read on myON Partnership

Free online books for children! For all birth through elementary school children in Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties. If you have a smartphone, tablet or computer, you can read these books. Internet needed. Parents and caregivers can use them with children too young to read on their own.

United Way Suncoast is pleased to be in collaboration with Hillsborough and Pinellas County School districts, and other strategic community partners, to support myON. United Way Suncoast was involved with the Hillsborough launch of the Read on myON Project in February of 2012 and the Pinellas launch for the 2017/18 school year and continues to invest funds to provide this wonderful service to children.

The Read on myON Project provides the myON reader digital library of books to all children from birth through fifth grade in Pinellas County and extends to include middle and high school students attending Hillsborough County Public Schools in Hillsborough County. The main goal of myON is to provide each child equitable access to the largest collection of enhanced digital books to encourage reading, increase literacy rates, and promote literacy throughout the community.
