Sora is the school equivalent of Libby for public libraries. However, materials available in Sora are sorted by grade level. Books are sorted into elementary, middle school, and high school appropriate texts and students only have access to their grade level and below.
Students login using their school Google ID and can download the Sora app on any Android or Apple device. Sora is accessible on any internet-connected device by visiting https://soraapp.com/.
Students can also add additional library systems, such as the Buffalo and Erie County Public Library, to their app using their library card. You can apply for a public library card here.
