Thank you for sharing that! I was wondering the same since my district doesn't currently have Sora.

Hi Lizanne,
Students enter audiobooksync as their school. From their FAQ page:

How do I set up Sora? 

  1. Download Sora from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
  2. Open Sora and tap I have a setup code (at the bottom of the screen).
  3. Enter this setup code: audiobooksync.
  4. Enter the email address you used to sign up for SYNC.
  5. Tap Explore (at the bottom of the screen) to see the week’s featured titles [SYNC 2020 starts April 30]

I have loved promoting Sync every year, but this year the books get downloaded to Sora not OverDrive. To get the app, you have to choose your school. My district is balking at signing up for Sora. Would any of you have some new ideas for me as I try to persuade my district that Sora is a good thing?

Thanks!
