<div class="x_x_gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">The libraries pay for their own content on OverDrive. During the pandemic, we did use ARPA funding to pay for econtent on their behalf where libraries chose content and then the bill was
sent to us. That was a special circumstance. The only econtent we pay for at the state level is for our eRead Kids program through Baker and Taylor and the Palace Project. I hope this helps!</div>
