Thank you to everyone who has used the survey to let us know what you would like to learn this summer and what do you need to make your library program stronger? If you haven't done it yet, please submit your ideas on this survey by Friday, April 12!

Congratulations to Park View Middle School Librarian, Stephanie Mills, for the recent blogpost in Sora Spotlights!

Learn about the many ways Steph has promoted Sora to encourage reading at Park View and be inspired to use similar strategies to promote reading for your students!

Please join Renee Lienhard from Overdrive on May 7th at 3:30 for a 30 minute explanation of the unlimited access titles for the 2024 Summer Sweet Reads. If you are NOT a member of Sora yet, this might be a great opportunity to get a glimpse of what Sora has to offer. Register using this link.

We are getting more reports of glitches with Destiny. Here are some suggestions.

• Try clearing your cache, closing the browser, and shutting down the computer.
• If you get a message that Library Manager is temporarily unavailable, hit the refresh button.
• To avoid being asked to login to back office after you have logged in on the Destiny Discover Home screen, try clicking on back office first and login from there.

Follett is aware of, and working on, the problem of not staying automatically logged in for 480 minutes.

As a reminder, RILINK staff members work part-time, and we rotate being available to answer your questions. Using the RILINK Help Request Form ensures the most efficient response to your questions. If you email one of us directly, we might not be online and available to help. The link to the form is in the signature of all RILINK Staff and is an orange button on the right hand side of the RILINK website at https://guides.rilink.org.
