To login to our Sora Digital Library for the first time, follow these steps:

Step 1: Select the International School of Amsterdam from the list of schools.

Step 2: Enter your Sora login.

📝 Students: Your Sora login is your Veracross Student ID number, found on the front of your ISA ID card. Your Student ID number is both your username and password.

📝 Teachers and Parents: We also use your Veracross ID number for both your username and password. Please contact a member of the US Library team if you need help accessing your Sora account.

Here are the steps to download and access the Sora app on your laptop, tablet, or phone.

📌 Sora only works on ereaders that run Android, for example BOOX.
