Do I need an app for Sora? How does it work? You don't need an app, but you can get one! You can read most ebooks and listen to most eaudiobooks with your Chrome browser. That said, you may want to get the Sora app if you want to use Sora on your personal smartphone or tablet. You can find out more about the Sora app-- for iOS or for Android-- by visiting this page! It shows you how to get started, and has links on where you can download the app for your mobile device.
I need more help setting up Sora my device or searching for books... If you still need help with Sora, ask your LA teacher, talk to your school librarian, or bring your device to Aurora Public Library or Messenger Library and talk to a librarian there. If you have a library card, your local public library can help you get their titles on Sora as well! |

YOUNG ADULT BOOKS
We recognize that our middle school students include individuals with a wide range of different life experiences, whose families hold diverse values.
The materials in our library collections reflect the variety in the lives of our students. This YA sign is on display in multiple locations within our library. During library orientation each year, we emphasize that reading choices are up to each student and their family.
We support parents in guiding their children in what they read, view, and listen to. If you do not want your middle school student(s) to have access to books in our Young Adult (YA) collection, you must complete the YA Opt-Out form:
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Mrs. Hahn using one of the methods in the Contact section above.
