SEARCHWhat is Sora?
Sora is our district-wide collection of ebooks and audio books. They are FREE for all students to use, and can be accessed 24/7 year-round, meaning you can check them out and read them even when your school library is closed!
Some of the benefits of using ebooks and audio books:
- They can be accessed from any device with an internet connection including, chromebooks; kindles, iPads, and other tablets; any internet browser; iPhones; Android phones; and PC and Mac computers.
- They return themselves at the end of the loan period–no late books ever.
- Collections are curated by district librarians.
- Everything is accessed with your district email and password–no new login info.
