Did you know that Clover School District offers free ebooks and audiobooks to students, faculty and staff? Our digital collection is available 24/7 and all you need to get started is an internet connection and your MacBook login. Check it out at: http://soraapp.com or by downloading Sora, the student reading app.

Our digital library connects students with a collection of reading materials to supplement their studies, as well as offering the kind of titles they would find in a public library for pleasure reading.  From classic literature to modern non-fiction, there is a wide variety of books available and we need your help and guidance to add new content to the site and build the best digital library resource for our Clover High.

Digital books are compatible with smart phones, tablets, eReaders and computers. Titles can be read right in the internet browser or downloaded using the free Sora app. At the end of the lending period, titles automatically expire so there are never any late fees.

We encourage all teachers to visit our digital library http://soraapp.com and download the free Sora app to become familiar with how it works and browse our current catalog.
