BOCES compiled a list of all the audiobooks available for simultaneous use through Sora: BT BOCES SLS Simultaneous Use Audiobooks. All of the titles on this list are available in Sora and are licensed for simultaneous use in our region. The books are divided into three categories: juvenile, young adult, and general adult. Elementary students can view and borrow juvenile titles; middle school students can view and borrow the young adult and juvenile titles; high school students can view and borrow books from all three categories. If you would like a general adult title made available to your students, please contact me.

You can access the Sora database on the "eBooks" page or by clicking here.
