Sora Ebooks and Audiobooks

You can discover ebooks & audiobooks on the Sora app or on a web browser at http://soraapp.com

Getting started with Sora

Step 1

Get your Paideia Library ID number and password from Jill or Lauren by emailing elemlibrary@paideiaschool.org.

Step 2

On a mobile device, (iPhone or Android, iPad or other mobile tablet) install the Sora app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

On a desktop or laptop computer, go to Soraapp.com in your web browser (Safari, Chrome, Firefox or other)

Step 3

In Sora, search for and select Paideia School (we are part of the MISBO consortium), then sign in with your Paideia Library ID number and password.

You will land on the Home page -- this is your personal dashboard showing your checkouts and anything assigned by a teacher.

Step 4

Click the Explore button (the binoculars icon at the bottom of the screen) to search for and borrow a book. When checked out, your book will open so you can start reading right away, or you can come back to it later.

Step 5

Close the book and go to your Shelf to see all your books (including assignments). From there, you can:

  • Select Open Book or Open Audiobook to read or listen to the book.
  • Select Options to renew or return the book, see your notes and highlights, and more.

Note

Sora works the same on all devices and browsers. 

  • You can checkout on one device, and download to another (for instance, use a computer to check out an audiobook, and then download it to the app on a phone so you can listen while moving around)
