What is Sora (formerly OverDrive)?

Sora is the Etiwanda School District’s web-based digital library. It allows students and staff to read eBooks and listen to audio books online from any location that has Internet access or off line using a variety of eReader devices (Kindle, iPad, iPod Touch, computer, cell phone, MP3 player, Nook tablets,…). Patrons can search our virtual bookshelves for specific titles and check-out one title at a time for up to one week.

How do I log into Sora?

All students in the Etiwanda School District can access Sora from school and home for free by logging in to their district issued Google account and clicking on the Sora icon above. If you have any questions about logging in, please email library@etiwanda.org.

How many eBooks may I check out and for how long?

For now, students and staff may check out 3 books at a time for up to one week. As our eBook collection grows, the number of books and the length of check out will expand. Once you are done reading a book, you may check it back in by finding it on your shelf, clicking on Options and selecting Return. This will allow you to check out a new book .
