Digital Collection
Sora
Sora provides the quickest and easiest way to get started with digital titles from our school. Students can log in using their sausdlearns.net account and immediately access hundreds of eBooks and audiobooks on almost any device. Get started today at https://soraapp.com/library/santaanausd or download the free Sora app for Android or iOS. The app is already installed on all student Chromebooks. For easy access on other devices, our school’s setup code is: SantaAnaUSD.
Trouble navigating the app? Step-by-step guide or Sora Help site.
Internet not always available? Connect to download a book, and read offline while not connected.
