Todd Co. Schools, public library team up to bring e-books to local students

The Todd County School District and the Todd County Public Library are partnering together to help bring modernized reading and technology to community students.

According to a news release, the partnership hopes to increase access to more e-books and e-audiobooks for students in an effort to promote literacy and digital learning by combining the schools’ and the library’s digital reading resources in one app. The school-library partnership provides safe access to thousands of age-appropriate titles for students’ use inside the classroom, at home and anywhere at all hours of the day.

Media Specialist at North Todd Elementary Wendy Henderson says, “We are committed to providing quality resources for our students and providing digital books not only modernizes the reading experience but ensures access to books in a way that is safe and convenient. One district plus two libraries equals thousands of opportunities for students to experience the joy of reading and lifelong learning.”

The app is called Sora and is available for Todd County School District students to download through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, and on Chromebooks that support the Google Play Store.
