Sora is the new user-friendly reading app that you can access through your chromebook, phone, or tablet. With Sora, you get free age-appropriate ebooks & audiobooks from our school. Digital books are automatically returned on their due dates, so you never need to worry about late fees or lost books!
When you open Sora for the first time, enter setup code "olsdoh". Then, sign in using your Google credentials. Under your profile, select "Add a Public Library" and enter "The Ohio Digital Library" for access to 17,000+ books! On the Home tab, you'll see any books your teachers assigned to you, along with books you've borrowed. You'll also see your recently defined words, notes, and highlights. To find and borrow books, go to the Explore tab. You can browse subjects or search for a title, author, or series. Then, borrow a book and start reading with a single tap. You can always get back to your current read using the circle at the bottom of the app. In the Explore tab, you can also place holds, read samples, and add tags. You'll find all your loans on your Shelf. If you're on Wi-Fi, books automatically download for offline use. If you're using mobile data, you can stream books until you're on Wi-Fi. Tap Options next to a book to renew it, return it early, and more. Students in the U.S. can also send books to a Kindle. Your Shelf also has your holds, tagged books, and activity. On the Me tab, check out fun features like your reading stats and achievements you've earned. You can change your name and avatar, too. In the menu, you can add a public library, change settings, find help, & more. Download Sora to start reading today!
