Sora is a new reading and listening app from OverDrive. With Sora, students and staff can access a large collection of ebooks and audiobooks for independent, recreational, or teacher-assigned reading. Students can read or listen to these books using a Chromebook, desktop computer, or personal mobile device. Getting Started:
1. Go to https://soraapp.com using a web browser on any computer or device. (If you are using an Android or Apple mobile device you can also install the Sora app from your device’s app store.)
2. The library is “York Region District School Board” and users should enter “York Region District School Board” as the school when signing in for the first time.
3. Sign in using 0 followed by student number (the number that students use to sign into school computers) or 1000 followed by staff ID number. No password is needed.
4. Click the Explore tab to search for and borrow a book. Your book will open so you can start reading or listening right away.
5. You can keep a book for 14 days. You can check out up to 3 books at a time. You can also place holds on books that are checked out.
6. Close the book and go to your Shelf to see all your books. From there, you can: ● Tap Open Book or Open Audiobook to read or listen to a book ● Tap Options to renew or return the book, get to your notes and highlights, and more.
