Sora is an eBook service where you can check out an eBook for a period of 14 days. These eBooks are similar to our print books in the LMC, in that only one person can check out a book at a time. If the eBook is not available, you are able to place a hold on it. You will need to download the Sora app from Self Service in order to use this service. Please follow the directions below to set up your Sora app.
Directions to set up the Sora App:
Select your school or click on +Add a library and enter 60010 in the search bar, then click Search.

Follow these same directions to add your local public library collection.
