As educators seek more creative ways to support students’ learning, a key resource for schools is the local public library. Lexington High School, Lexington Middle School and the Lexington Public Library have formed an innovative new partnership to increase students’ access to library services. Parent permission forms have been distributed to students. Once these forms have been collected, the students will receive library cards that provide them with access to the public library services. One of the services is Sora by Overdrive, which combines the public library and the schools’ digital reading resources into one app. The Sora app provides safe access to thousands of age-appropriate titles for students’ use inside the classroom, at home and anywhere at any time. This provides students with great reading opportunities over the summer.
