Easier access to more free digital titles for Middleboro students

The Middleborough Public Library and the Middleborough Public Schools are partnering together through Public Library Connect to provide access to thousands of titles for students’ use inside the classroom, at home and anywhere 24/7.

Through Sora, students can now borrow from both the school’s collection of classroom and recreational reading titles as well as from Middleborough Public Library's digital collection.

Sora will automatically filter content to only include age-appropriate titles depending on each student’s grade level.

Follow the instructions shown below or here to be able to browse and borrow digital reading material from the Middleborogh Public Library--SAILS Library Network with your Sora app.


Using Sora (the student version of the Libby app) available to all Middleborough students to add a library:

  Click or tap menu icon.

  1.  Scroll down and tap "Add Library." 
  2.  Use the search box to find and select "Middleborough Public Library -- SAILS Library Network" to access age-appropriate material in Middleborough's digital collection. The library will open in the Explore tab and be saved so you can get back to it later.
  3.  You'll be asked to sign in the first time you try to borrow a book or place a hold.  Select your school to continue and enter your ClassLink credentials.
  4.  To switch between libraries in Sora, select a library from the menu or from the drop-down at the top of the Explore tab.
