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

Charles  - of course you can contact me. My email is below, and we can exchange numbers offline if appropriate.  I'm not using Sora yet, but would like to know more about it so I can possibly pitch it to admin.

Hey all!
Has anyone used Sora and Public Library Connect? My district has gone remote until December and this is my first year as a librarian here.  We are trying to find a district-wide platform to provide remote access to digital resources.  This fall I purchased the only ebooks our building has and taught students how to access them through Follett, but I have no idea how Sora +PLC would work.
--Is it pricey?
--How did you reach out to your public library about this? Was it well received by your public library?
--How does one add books to the collection?
Feeling like such a noob right now. Any suggestions or warnings would be gratefully received.
Thanks
