The Library and eLearning Centre is committed to bringing unique learning opportunities to our students and we are pleased to introduce a new, reading service providing digital books through Sora, the student reading app.

The collection of titles in Sora is an extension of Library and eLearning Centre physical library, only it’s in an app with 24/7 access to ebooks and audiobooks. It’s convenient for students to check out titles at home, on the weekends or during school breaks with no worry about misplacing a book or running up late fees – these digital titles automatically return at the end of the lending period!

Sora can help students of all ages read more and improve comprehension.  Struggling or reluctant readers, learning-challenged, second language learners, and gifted readers can all benefit from this service.

• Enrich vocabulary and improve comprehension and pronunciation
• Introduce students to books above their reading level
• Teach critical listening
• Help busy kids find time to read.

How does it work?

Download the free Sora app from the Apple App store, Google Play Store or visit the library homepage and click on the Sora rocket, borrow (SSO authentication requirements), and enjoy anytime, anywhere on a computer, tablet, or smartphone.

Whether a student’s interest lies in classics for required reading, or the latest popular juvenile or young adult fiction, they can find it all in Sora, just in time for the holidays!

If you have any queries, please contact the Library and eLearning Centre via email Chisholmlibrary@cewa.edu.au.
