Choose Fremont Unified School District if asked for a school option. Next, click on the hamburger in the upper right. Select "add library" and choose Alameda County Library. Borrowing a book is easy; just click Borrow. "Shelf" is where you will find the titles you have checked out and keep track of any you have on Hold. You can read in the free Sora app or send to your Kindle app or device. To send to Kindle, go to your Shelf on the bottom of the Sora app then select Options next to the book you want to send, choose "Send to device" and choose Kindle. The options menu is also where you return or renew a book. Please return titles once you finish reading them. Don't make others wait unnecessarily for their turn.
When you are in an eBook in the Sora app, notice that if you click in the area at the bottom of a page, you have several options for reading. You can change the font, including to OpenDyslexic, the text size, and the screen tone. You can search within the book, make notes, and place bookmarks. The Sora app also has features such as Wish Lists, the ability to place holds, and History. Explore at the bottom of the app will take you back to the eBook and audiobook collections.
