Sora is a great digital library that has truly expanded our library offerings! Students at Indian River School are using Sora regularly to enjoy more reading choices. In our first month after launching Sora, we had over 250 digital checkouts! The number has remained steady at 185 digital checkouts at our school for the past couple months. January's statistics have not yet been released.
However the students decide to read, whether it be a physical book, an ebook, or an audiobook, just keep encouraging them to read, read, read!
Link Sora to Your Local Library!
Now, students have the ability to further expand their library collection! The Sora student reading app conveniently includes public library access. Through this feature, students can browse and borrow ebooks and audiobooks from their local public library in addition to our school’s digital collection. Sora has also made sure that only age-appropriate titles are displayed so their reading choices are both broad and relevant.
How can students access public library titles for educational and pleasure reading without ever leaving Sora?
- Sign in to Sora.
- From the menu in the upper right corner of Sora in your screen, select Add a public library.
- Search for titles from the public library and borrow a book.
- Add your public library card number when prompted.
- Checkouts from school and public library collections will appear on the same Shelf.
