Workshop #1: OverDrive / Sora
And as you may already know, OverDrive recently introduced Sora, the student-friendly reading app. It's a lot like Libby (the OverDrive app for public libraries), but Sora's exclusively for schools. Your little munchkins will appreciate the easy-to-use features and have fun earning digital badges.
Are your students using OverDrive? It's easy to check:
- Login to OverDrive Marketplace. Username: waynebocesny.lib.firstinitiallastname
- From the top blue banner, select INSIGHTS ==> REPORTS ==> CIRCULATION ACTIVITY to see stats for the schools in our consortium
- Select RUN NEW REPORT to refine results specific to your building
Want to boost your OverDrive Stats? We can help!

Kick into OverDrive & Soar with Sora!
Fall is the perfect time to ramp up your school's use of OverDrive, your digital collection of audiobooks, eBooks and videos, available exclusively for Media Library subscribers.
This hands-on workshop will build your skills and your confidence as you navigate the collection, check out material, place holds, take notes, track progress, and share feedback. We’ll show you ways to integrate OverDrive material into your curriculum to support personalized learning. And we’ll explore Sora, OverDrive’s exciting new reading app for students.
Lunch will be provided for participants also attending the p.m. Learn360 session.
