Audio & eBooks Through Sora

The Kirkwood School District is committed to providing access to high-quality library media centers and resources. We utilize the reading app Sora to allow students to access ebooks and audiobooks. Within the Sora app, students have the ability to access three different sources of materials: our KSD collection, the MORENet collection, and public library collections. Students can use their personal library card to access public library collections directly.

Unless families restrict their student's access to Sora, all students will have access to the KSD or MORENet collections within Sora. Students need a personal library card to access the public library collections. Please note, titles available through the public library are purchased with the general public in mind. If you choose to add access for your student, they may encounter material–whether related to sex or other sensitive topics—that differ from or conflict with your personal or religious beliefs. Families may add or remove access to the public library collections at any time.

Families may also restrict their students' access to Sora in its entirety using KSD's restricted checkout form. 

Instructions for updating your students’ access to the public library collections are provided below.
