About WSDLC

The Wisconsin Schools Digital Library Consortium (WSDLC) is a shared collection of over 60,000 ebooks, audiobooks, and magazines that are accessible through the Sora app (from OverDrive) that costs schools less than $2.00 per student. The WSDLC serves nearly 450,000 students in close to 300 districts around Wisconsin.

The WSDLC was developed through a partnership between the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, CESA Purchasing, the CESA Statewide Network, and WiLS. These partners created an infrastructure that supports this shared ebook and digital audiobook collection for Wisconsin K12 students.

The collection is self-supported through member districts and schools that pay a fee to join the Consortium. The WSDLC is governed by a Board consisting of members of the consortium who either represent a specific CESA geographic area or are appointed representatives, and representatives from the partners (CESA Statewide Network and DPI).
