"We started using OverDrive's digital library across the school during the pandemic as a way to ensure that our pupils had access to books, whether they were in school or home learning. OverDrive has helped enable our students to access a wide range of authors and genres from the classics, to manga; it has helped to broadened their horizons when it comes to reading."
