[aisle] Learning Ally / audiobooks

[Walsh, Michelle]

In our school, we've encouraged students to obtain public library cards so
they can use Hoopla OR  Overdrive for audiobooks.   Students with IEP's or
504's clearly stating a need for audiobook materials, have Learning Ally or
Bookshare

accounts.  Bookshare and LibriVox have a large number of audiobooks in the
public domain.  Fortunately, middle schools and high schools who are
reading The Pearl
