Our students and teachers are diving into Sora, our digital library, and learning how to navigate the app, personalize it to their reading needs, and discover even more books throughout the year.
From finding their next great read to taking on reading challenges from their teachers, Sora puts a whole library right at their fingertips. 💻❤️📖 Mesquite Libraries
