Sora Reading App by OverDrive

Sora is a new reading and listening app being used by the Averill Park School District. 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. School computers, ipads, and other devices already have the Sora app downloaded on them.  Simply look for the Sora Icon to get started.
  2. To access on your personal devices, such as home computer, ipad, cell phone, etc, go to https://soraapp.com using a web browser on any computer or device. 
  3. If you are using an Android or Apple mobile device you can also install the Sora app from your device’s app store (links below).
  • Choose the drop down:  “Find my school.” (choose Averill Park School District) 
  • Your school Google account will need to be linked the first time you use the app.  Now you’re all set!
  • Click the Explore tab to search for and borrow a book. Your book will open so you can start reading or listening right away. 
  • You can keep a book for 14 days. You can checkout up to 3 books at a time. You can place holds on books that are checked out.
