If you want access to the titles in the State Library system you can access them through RB Digital
https://iconnct.rbdigital.com/
We’ve even managed to provide access to students without a library card because us to this point, it seemed that a lot of student’s didn’t have one. Direction
on how to access RB Digital without a card can be found here

Just to clarify...Sora is in addition to Destiny, correct? It gives you access to everything on the state library system. Or is it something else? Thanks so much for helping
me understand these platforms.
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!
