Can parents use Overdrive / Sora?
Yes parents can use Overdrive/Sora.

Answer
Because Parents do not have a personal WAB password, the way around giving them access to WAB's Overdrive/Sora library (eBooks/audiobooks) is by parents using their email (the one in Powerschool) and generic password: wabtiger
