New free e-library for all students

We are very excited to let you know that all staff and students now have access to Sora, our brand new and FREE online library. Sora contains thousands of fantastic quality, popular eBooks, audiobooks, textbooks and magazines, including fiction, non-fiction and comics with new titles added every week – it functions like a library version of Audible/Kindle/Spotify but for no cost!

The text in Sora can be personalised to make it dyslexia-friendly and it can define words, take notes and read sections aloud.

There is more information about the app, along with lots of other Library news and info in our Library section here.

How to get started with Sora:

Install the Sora app from the Apple App Store or Google Play store, or go to www.soraapp.com

If asked for a setup code use uksecondary, or click 'Find your school / Secondary EBooks Now'

Search for Oaks Park High School, then log in using your school email address and password (the same ones used to access Google Classroom)

Browse the Explore tab and borrow a book. The book will open so you can start reading right away

Go to the Shelf tab to see all your books. Tap Options to renew or return  books, get notes, highlights and more

Books automatically return on due date. You can reserve books that are already on loan - these appear automatically in your account when available.
