I second Melissa's comment about Sora. We just got ourselves set up, and in addition to the titles I bought, they are offering a nice collection from now until the end of July for free, and those titles are simultaneous use, so no waiting!   https://resources.overdrive.com/sora-sweet-reads/

If your town's library uses Libby, students can access both the collection you create AND the library's collection all in the Sora app, which is extra nice.

Hi all,
My school currently has zero ebooks or audiobooks. This seems like the perfect time to get started. What do you recommend?
Thanks!

Hello!

In my district, the middle and high schools use Sora which is the school version of Overdrive.  We love it!!  Mackin and Abdo also have a lot of great content for e-books so check them out too:)

And we are trying to connect our readers with Hoopla through the public library!!!

Feel free to reach out for more info at any point:)
