GetBooks get the list and the books using the OPDS protocol. Pathagar [1] is a book server who serves that protocol, and is (or was) included in the school server. Pathagar has tools to import a directory of books in his own database, looks like you need work in the schoolserver to include Rachel and gutemberg books in Pathagar. Then you only need add a new server in get-books.cfg
