Sora has a platform and you can purchase audiobooks several differ ways
including multi use. They also have several free books. I set it up for
that exact reason when I worked at the high school.



Hope this helps!

We've discussed this before but I think it has been a while.



Our high school teachers sometimes play an audiobook in the classroom for
students to hear.



Is there a legal streaming solution for this? If I purchased a legal audio
version of the book - other than purchasing it through Follett and
accessing it through the catalog, I can't find a way for teachers to access
it in their classrooms. It needs to be single user. We don't want multiple
people all logging into one account - that is not ethically sound. Audible
has no interest in partnering with schools. They told me that very directly
the last time I tried to talk to them.



Short of having books on CD and a boombox, I can't find a way to have
audiobooks in the library for teachers to use in their classes.



Any wisdom from the masses?
