I just learned about Epic from Andover's Edtech Facebook post. Epic advertises that you will have "a library at your child's fingertips" and "instant access for over 15,000 books for kids 12 and under". See more at https://www.getepic.com/
Don't let the first glance at the site through you off however....

Because Epic is FREE for educators (see the small print under "get your free month") in the US and Canada. Take a look a the image below for all the benefits of the educator account. For a direct link: https://www.getepic.com/educators.
Simple step up:
1. Choose the age of the reader (you will choose one age at first, but can add more later).
2. Pick favorite subjects (this connects with the types of books that are shown).
3. You may be prompted to pick a few more.
4. Create the account (there is an option to sign in with Google Classroom)
5. Fill in school and personal information
6. Start reading or listening (their are books that are read to you).

Access online, via app from the App Store or Google play...it is even available on the Kindle. And access isn't limited to books...there are educational videos and articles!
The teacher dashboard offers the ability to add students and monitor their usage/reading. Adding students for Google Classroom users is just a few clicks away with the "import Google Classroom" option. Teachers can also create quizzes and assignments.
