NOTE: These directions are intended for participating schools in Commonwealth eBook Collections: OverDrive K-12 Shared Sora Collection in Massachusetts. If you're in a different state, please check with your librarian/teacher.

To log into Sora (the OverDrive reading and listening app for schools), follow these steps:

1. First check with your school's technical contact or OverDrive to be sure that your school is live for OverDrive.

2. Be sure that the Sora app is installed on your device (downloadable for free from the Apple App Store or Google Play). You can also access Sora on a computer at: https://soraapp.com/welcome. The app and website should work from both home and at your school. 

3. Once you've downloaded Sora, click on "Find My School" then "My School isn't Listed." Type in "MLS Commonwealth eBook Collection" in the "Find Your School" section. OR, you can click on "I have a setup code" and enter the setup code masslibma, and click "get started" which will bring you to the shared collection.

4. Select your school (or group of schools or district) from the dropdown menu.

5. Use your school's credentials to finish the login process (this will vary from school to school. It could be your school assigned Google email address and password or another login and password that you would be familiar with using at school). 

6. You are logged in! Click on the binoculars icon to begin exploring the collection.
