CSLA Sora Workshop coming up on December 9th

 

Join our Northern Region 3 reps, Maria Petropolis and Jeromy Winter, and Vice President of Membership, Clare McGarvin, as they discuss the implementation of Sora in their respective districts and school sites.  Sora is the digital library app from Overdrive that is available to school libraries.  This is a great way to get books in the hands of students, especially during Distance Learning.
