Montgomery County Public Schools is delivering library books to our students using drones! In order to provide students with books for independent reading when they do not have physical access to their School Library, we have partnered with Wing, a sister company of Google, to provide the drone technology to deliver books. As Wing is the only company with FAA approval to use drones for residential deliveries, MCPS is the first and only school system in the world to employ this technology to reach our students! When our school system moved to fully remote learning at the start of the pandemic, it became vitally important to find a way to continue to provide our students with access to books, as research shows independent reading positively correlates with student success. MCPS and Wing have committed to continue to provide this service to our students as a regular offering.
