Students, have you tried Sora yet? It's a new digital reading app that allows you to read ebooks, audiobooks and more from your school library! Log into your Schoology account to access @SoraReadingApp. To learn how to use Sora, watch this video: lausd.wistia.com/medias/8cp6…
This morning the Citywide Digital Library on @Sorareadingapp reached 5 million checkouts! This means 5 million books have been read by @NYCSchools staff and students. This is an amazing win for literacy across the city! Huge shoutout to so many people, including @NYCDOEOLS

What librarian shortage?!?! After a long absence of a librarian, Grady is extremely excited to have a librarian again, allowing students to do research and study. #GradyHSGlory#FalconStrong#falconstrongtogether
School librarians are a critical resource for our students, and we are so grateful to all the new librarians attending our Novice School Librarian Academy.
Thanks to everyone who showed up this week—we are so lucky to have you!

While you were sleeping last weekend—our students were reading!
We surpassed four million books borrowed from our Citywide Digital Library—a digital library built by school librarians in 2020 for all our public schools.
This is a big part of what #NYCReads is all about.

Thanks to @NYCDOEOLS, @Sorareadingapp, and @RegisReading for hosting another valuable PD session at our monthly FACE FriYays! As always this community of fabulous PCs continues to find ways to level up their skills & bring the work back to their community! #NYCSchoolsTech
I'm proud to work with @NYCDOEOLS and support the amazing work they do. They've provided 24/7 access to the Citywide Digital Library on Sora so that all NYC students have access to books. That said, schools should value having a librarian in the building. ny.chalkbeat.org/2023/5/4/23…
On May 4th I always reflect on the 1970 Kent State shootings. I'm proud to be a Kent alum, and the events of May 4th are crucial to understanding the history of violence toward protestors. RIP to the students who were killed for protesting the Vietnam War. kent.edu/may-4-historical-ac…
It’s been a fabulous day of learning and it’s still going! Learning about our city-wide digital library and how all of our students and teachers have access to a robust library. #DigitalLiteracy#NYCSchoolsLibraries#NYCSchoolsTech
