Sora is Granite District’s free online library, available to all faculty and students. This is an amazing resource that can be used both at school and at home. All Upland Terrace students in grades 2-5 have received a tutorial on how to use Sora, with reviews every year. Sora allows students to check out ebooks and audio books from the online library through their chrome book at school or through other devices at home. The logins are the same on any device – their student ID number is the username and their chrome book password is the password, whether at home or school. Students can check out up to 3 books at a time and have 3 books on hold. This is great when students need a book over the weekend, can’t find a book in our school library, or want to listen to an audio book on a road trip! The school library and Sora library are two different libraries with different inventory. This gives students a wide variety of choice.
