Following. I have some money to spend too. Follow up question: How do the students handle all the different platforms if they are used to using Destiny? (And my district still won’t use Sora – so far) MAckin has some great deals on right now too.

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:)

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