High school level here -  we are also huge users of Sora/Overdrive.  Easy to use, and my students are definitely big fans - especially of audio and the ease of using it right on their cell phones.  I know that isn't the case for elementary kiddos!  Our reps are amazing and always quick to help and respond.

Hi Elaine - my district uses Overdrive for eBooks. I don't use them at PreK-2 because Epic does the job for us, but I know the upper grades do use it. The app used is Sora. 

You can meet with the rep and get all the details. Maybe other schools in your district use it already?

Our preK-4 school is happily using EPIC, whose school access now ends at 3 pm.  Since 4th grade science and social studies block is 3-3:30, they are looking for more resources.  I offered to purchase more ebooks (I don't have many, as they never get used), but am wondering about other resources.  We subscribe to World Book online, Pebble Go, Pebble Go Next, and Gale Elementary.  I have to find out exactly what topics they are in need of will study.  What about Libby from the public library? Do they have much in children's nonfiction?  Other thoughts?  Thank you.
