[aisle] SORA and Public Library Connect

[Thorstenson, Kara]

Hi everyone,

I would love to be kept in the loop about your partnerships with your
public libraries through Overdrive. Happy to join a call or a Zoom if there
is going to be a conversation around this work! Overdrive has pitched this
idea to us in the past but we have some real concerns about adult books
being accessible to our K-12 patrons. Any advice would be useful!!

Sincerely,
Kara
