This collaboration aims to promote literacy and education by providing a wide range of resources to students who don t have a library card yet but could greatly benefit from the San Diego County Library s vast collection, Acosta said. We are excited to open up our digital collection to young residents who couldn t previously take advantage of it.
The county library already offers e-books, audiobooks and e-magazines 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to its patrons who download the Libby app which like the Sora app, is also made by the company OverDrive. In 2020, the library s digital circulation increased 56% to more than 3.2 million books and materials.
