SORA Reading App

We are getting closer to the time when library books will need to be returned (please do return any books that you have finished reading now), but there is a fantastic resource that you can use to continue reading.....

The SORA Reading App!  

“You can find magic wherever you look. Sit back and relax, all you need is a book.”  Dr Seuss

Enjoy some sensational spring reading by logging into SORA, our library’s fantastic eBook and audio book Reading App. We are sure you will find a book that grabs you amongst the hundreds of books included in the extensive range. 

Install the SORA app on your phone or computer using your Compass Username (For example: GARA001). The password is simply: password.  Please read below for the instructions.

The default setting will only allow books to download when you are connected to Wi-Fi so it will not gobble up your data. See how you go.
