The Palmyra-Macedon school community has access to their very own SORA account.  SORA​ ​is the student reading app for OverDrive which provides access to ebook and audiobooks (plus more) for the Pal-Mac community, anytime, anywhere! Sora is the new user-friendly app that lets you access it through your laptop, phone or tablet.

The Sora app was designed around the modern student reading experience. It empowers students to discover and enjoy ebooks and audiobooks from their school, for both leisure and class-assigned reading.

Inspired by educator and student feedback, Sora was created to excite kids about reading and remove distractions to promote a focus on learning.

• Easy to use, one tap to get inside a book

• The largest catalog of ebooks and audiobooks…made even larger by access to your public library through Sora

• Exportable notes, highlights for collaborative learning

• Personalized with book recommendations and learning tools like dyslexic font, enlarged text, Read-Alongs and audiobooks

• Badges and achievements to engage students

• Same experience on all devices

 This online app can be accessed using your Pal-Mac email address.  To get started, please see Mr Yates in the High school library or give it a try yourself.  HINT: Make sure you add additional libraries to your SORA account for even more access opportunities (Please add:  Palmyra-Macedon CSD, WFL BOCES, OWWL Library System).  Please see below for access to the NYPL.

The e-Newspaper is an exact digital replica of the print edition of your local newspaper. To access the newspapers, please visit the HS DATABASES in CLASSLINK or email Michael.Yates@palmaccsd.org for more information.
