Your Questions Answered

Can I apply the reading preferences to multiple children in the same school?

Yes. Preferences can be set per child, even within the same school.

Will my school respect the reading preferences I’ve indicated?

Schools are notified when you set preferences. If a title conflicts with your selected categories, staff are alerted before checkout. Schools retain control of their collections.

What can I do to get my school to implement WiseOwl?

Submit a request through our contact form. We’ll connect with your school and provide the details they need.

Is WiseOwl removing books from the school library?

No. WiseOwl does not remove or ban books. It provides families with insight and choice for their own child while schools maintain full control of their collections.
