Due to the authorities’ regulations, students of Kuen Cheng are only allowed to read the
books that are purchased. If the students are interested in reading the other books, they
would need to purchase them by themselves.
As our school has a large number of students and teachers, there are some limits to book-
borrowing: A single account is only capable of borrowing and reserving two books at the
same time.
Each reader is allowed to borrow two books at once for a week. Readers can either
read online or offline. Reading online enables one to read without installing additional
software or programs. On the other hand, reading offline requires readers to install the
Airiti Reader software. Both ways support PC, iOS (iPad/iPhone) and Android mobile
phone and tablet.
Once the book is borrowed, the “Borrow” button will be replaced by the “Return and
Renewal” button for readers to return or renew borrowed books. Books that are read offline
will be automatically returned and removed from the device upon expiry. Meanwhile,
books that are read online will be returned automatically upon closing the browser. The
same button can be used to renew books. As long as the book is not reserved, users are
free to renew books, and each book can only be renewed once.
Airiti eBook Malaysia also provides a book reservation service. The reservation button
will only appear after the book is not available for borrowing. It is important to note that
the system will not borrow the book automatically on behalf of the reserver. Instead, it
will send a notification to the reserver. The user has to borrow the book within 12 hours
after being notified lest the reserved book be allotted to the next person in the queue.

Undoubtedly, the school has already provided us with an amazing platform to account
for a good reading atmosphere. Lastly, we hope that the students and teachers will
utilize this platform and would like to thank the school’s efforts on behalf of the
students.
