SAUSD Digital Library Collections for Online Reading

The district has several platforms to make digital reading available to students.

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 thousands 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? Try this video overview, this Step-by-step guide or the Sora Help site.

Internet not always available? Connect to a network to download a book, then read offline while not connected.
