Kansas only has the public library licensing for this product. It cannot be used in a classroom or curriculum in any way. This can be anything from showing the storybook on screen to whole class to assigning students to use the site or a book on it.
What is allowed? Children may use BF during their free reading time, as long as this is on their own and they are using it as a regular library patron, not as a lesson or assignment in any way from the teacher. It is just an option to fill their free time, like the books they can bring in from your school or public library or they can borrow from your classroom bookshelf.
Schools should not link directly to BookFlix to avoid misunderstandings with the vendor. We recommend linking to the State Library Kids page (https://kslib.info/kids) if you wish to provide free-reading-time access for your kids. This page also has links to Explora and other kids’ databases.
