SORA

SWR recently added the Sora platform to its library services. Sora is a 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 and public library, for both leisure and class-assigned reading.

Click on the video links to learn more about Sora from our district librarians including how to become a user, and how to link your school Sora account to the public libraries to expand your access to ebooks .

Welcome to 2021 Summer Reading at New York Libraries!

Summertime means a chance to explore new books and e-books, learn new skills, and check out resources and virtual and in person programs and activities through Summer Reading at New York Libraries. It’s the perfect time for students of all ages to see what their local library has to offer! The 2021 summer reading slogan is “Tails and Tales” and libraries are planning many fun programs and events around this animal theme. This year, libraries across the state will be offering a selection of exciting online and virtual programming as well as in person and outdoor events. There will be special events, reading challenges, fun activities, and more throughout the summer months from June through August.

In addition to program support and resources, the State Library provides a fun, online app called READSquared where students and families can track their favorite books during the summer and all year long. The Teen Video Challenge is an annual competition open to all teens (librarian and teacher support is encouraged). It provides an opportunity to create a public service announcement style video, expressing individual interpretations of the 2021 Summer Reading Theme “Tails and Tales.”

To sign up for Summer Reading and Summer Learning and find out what YOUR local library has planned, check out your local library’s website. And don’t forget that your school library has a wealth of fantastic online summer resources too!
