Resource Management Associate
The accessibility of reading digitally – such as the availability of audiobooks and being able to change things like font, size and background – is a game changer for so many students.

Teacher Librarian
The reason we started with OverDrive/Sora was to offer equitable access to books for pleasure reading in our most rural districts, where students do not have access to a public library or well-developed school library.
