Digital Library Resources: Sora, Passages’ New Digital Library Platform!



Today Passages launches its digital library platform available through Overdrive’s Sora.  Sora makes it possible for our detained and incarcerated students to read library ebooks safely and return them efficiently.  We understand that not all of our students are currently connected to Google Classrooms, but those who are now accessing distance learning are doing so on individual chromebooks

Passages teachers can access these materials as well, of course.  We would like to thank Mr. Garvey, our school’s tech specialist, for all of his work setting this up during this difficult time.  In the days ahead we will publish reviews of the collection we build and highlight some of Sora’s most exciting features .  --Jamila Abdulrashid, Claudio Leon, and Jessica Fenster-Sparber
