Dear Parent/Guardian,
Arthur CUSD #305 is gearing up for summer break. While summer presents an opportunity to relax and enjoy the sunshine, we want our students to continue to find ways to learn while away from the classroom. We have an exciting reading program available through Sora which provides free 24/7 access to age-appropriate ebooks and audiobooks. What better way to engage your student’s mind than through reading? Starting May 12 – August 25, 2025, the Sora Sweet Reads program will offer a collection of grade-appropriate ebook and audiobook titles that will be prominently displayed in Sora for quick and easy unlimited access. You can explore the title offerings and learn more about the program here: https://resources.overdrive.com/sora-sweet-reads/.
How does it work? Students can simply log in using school credentials and instantly access our digital library on virtually any device. Get started today at https://soraapp.com or download the free Sora app for Android or iOS. For easy access, our school’s setup code is arthurcusdil. If you have questions, you can contact us:brownr@cusd305.org.
Sincerely,
Renee Brown
District Librarian
