I have loved promoting Sync every year, but this year the books get downloaded to Sora not OverDrive. To get the app, you have to choose your school. My district is balking at signing up for Sora. Would any of you have some new ideas for me as I try to persuade my district that Sora is a good thing?

Thanks!
