Sora

You can install the Sora app from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store, as an app on one of your home devices.

If you have a computer, laptop, or Chromebook, you can logged into https://soraapp.com to access the resource of ebooks.

If you have not logged in before, you will be asked to sign-in. Use the following directions to do this:

  1. Search for the Greenville County Schools, when prompted

  2. Sign in using All Greenville County School Users

  3. Log-in with Active Directory

  4. Enter your district username and password to sign in

When prompted from your Chromebook or laptop, select Add Shortcut to put the Sora App on your device and click Install.

This will put the Sora icon on your laptop or Chromebook. Users will remain signed in on the device and will not need to repeat the steps above.

You may check out books and place holds on new books, throughout the time school is not in session. All loans will be for 2 weeks and books will disappear from your account, when the 2 week period is over.
