In Sora, find your school (Elkhart Community Schools).
Install Sora from the districts Self Service App.
Sora is an app utilized by the district giving students access to free ebooks and audiobooks from their school library. “Our mission at OverDrive is a world enlightened by reading, and this partnership has helped us to meet that mission,” says company spokeswoman Andi Barnett.Ī shorter version of this story appears in “Parent Pulse” in the Winter 2021 issue of Columbus Parent. “We see it as these students are already our customers, so we’re just providing an easier way for them to get to the stuff we’ve already had all along,” she says. Mason says the app makes it easier for students to access library materials. All students will have access to Sora through their district-provided Chromebook. Parents can rest easy knowing their 14-year-old isn’t going to see adult content, because titles are filtered for appropriateness by grade level. “If a student wants to read, they can-they don’t have to get a ride or get on a COTA bus to get to their nearest branch. They don’t need a library card, and they don’t need to go to the branch,” says Catherine Mason, digital buying lead for the Columbus Metropolitan Library. The effort aims to increase students’ access to e-books and audiobooks by combining the resources of the CML and CCS libraries. The Public Library CONNECT initiative is a new partnership between Columbus City Schools and the Columbus Metropolitan Library, with technology from Cleveland-based digital content provider OverDrive. Through a new reading app called Sora, Columbus City Schools students can now check out a book without even getting out of bed. Remember all those weekend trips to the library to check out books or movies? Well, now, there’s an app for that.
