OverDrive e-Book Library
Don't forget that our E-Book system, OverDrive, is available all year round! Student's login information should be the same as their AR login; user name = student ID number and password = student's first name.
OverDrive has added a new format to access our online library, called Sora! On Sora, the books are the same and your account is the same. In fact, your log in information is the same as well! Sora just looks different and has some fun, interactive features. Be sure to check it out!
Both OverDrive and Sora are available in the Apple and Google app stores. You can also access OverDrive and Sora through the links on our webpage and on the student's Chrome "Student Bookmarks" tab. If you would like more information on OverDrive or Sora, please contact Mrs. Ahumada!
