OverDrive Sora
OverDrive is NVUSD's ebook platform.
The program provide students access to ebooks, downloadable audiobooks, read-alongs and videos.
Access is determined by school...all elementary school students have access to the elementary collection and so on. Access to different collections is available by request if approved by a teacher.
Sora is the school interface for OverDrive.
- Sora delivers seamless access to thousands of titles available from both NVUSD collections and our public library.
- Whether you use a laptop, ChromeBook, smartphone or tablet—your experience is identical.
- Automatic downloads guarantee access to checked out titles with or without Internet.
- There is no need to install anything! The first time you or a student open Sora you will be prompted to add a shortcut to your device home screen. This makes finding content on your device easier and ensures offline access.
