Sora – The Reading App

Overdrive Launches its Reading App for Students

Sora! Check it out!

Watch this video for a quick overview of the awesome things possible through Sora. Sora is the App that is replacing Overdrive. Our collection of eBooks and Audiobooks available to all KPBSD Staff and Students, Grades 6-12 remains the same; it is just accessed a bit differently.

Sora Overview Video

Search for the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District (Mail Collection) by entering Kenai or 99669 when looking for a library. Students log in using ID number and normal password. Staff use the employee number (make sure to change the E to a 9) and normal password.

Users can read or listen to titles accessed through Sora on a computer or most any device.

A direct link to our KBPSD Sora can be found under Students/Parents at KPBSD.org and here KPBSD Sora.
