PLATTSBURGH — The Champlain Valley Educational Services School Library System and Clinton-Essex-Franklin Library System have partnered to increase access to more e-books and e-audiobooks for area students.

The collaboration includes all CVES school districts that are part of the CEFLS service area, including Keene and AuSable Valley.

Students can now borrow age-appropriate digital titles from the public library system, in addition to those offered to their school district through CVES. Both the school and public library collections can be searched through the Sora app using one login. Students can install Sora from the Apple App Store, Google Play Store or soraapp.com. All students attending a CVES component district have a login ID and can contact their school librarian for this information.

Students in area districts can also access OverDrive eBooks, eAudiobooks and educational videos via https://champlainvny.libraryreserve.com using their Sora login ID. Sora was selected as one of TIME’s Best Inventions in the Education category for 2019 due to multilingual features, shareable notes and highlights, and real-time reading stats.

Residents in Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties can also access titles from the CEFLS eBook and eAudiobook collection using their library cards at cefls.org/overdrive. If you don’t have a library card, you can contact your local library to apply. (See cefls.org/curbside for contact information.)
