What is Sora by Overdrive?

It's the kid-friendly e-reader app with access to books through our local San Jose public library.  When you login via Clever account you will want to make sure to choose the San Jose Public Library in order to search their catalog.

How to check out a book?

Once you have found a book you are interested in, click on it and if it's available you will see a BORROW button under the book. If it's currently not available it will say 'Place a hold' and there is an estimation of when you will be able to borrow it. 

If you have a Kindle for your child to read from you can send the book to Kindle to access and read it.

There is an app available for both Apple and Android devices. Log in using your BUSD Google Account to access Sora. 

Happy Reading!
