Monday Medley: AudioSync and Sora, the Student Reading App





Beginning on April 29, 2021 teens (and interested adults!) can download and listen to 2 free audiobooks each and every week until the program ends on August 4, 2021. That's a grand total of 28 free audiobooks! Learn more about all of the titles for 2021 by clicking here.

How does it work? It's easy! Sign up by visiting the Audiofile Sync Website and signing up with your school email address. You can also sign up to get email or text alerts so that you remember each week to download the titles that are available for that week. The titles will be available in Sora, the student reading app. In case you don't remember, Sora is one of our ebook and audiobook reading platforms.

Getting Started with Sora


What is Sora? 

Sora is OverDrive Education’s K–12 student reading app. You may have heard of OverDrive (or its simpler to use “cousin” Libby) because it is a widely used platform for borrowing eBooks and AudioBooks from the public library. 


How do I get started?


Getting started is easy! You don’t need to have a username, password, or a library card number. All you need is the ability to log into Clever with Google:
