eBooks through Sora [Overdrive]

The Annenberg Library offers eBooks, and some audiobooks, to students, faculty and staff through OverDrive. This digital collection is available 24/7 and all you need to get started is an internet connection and your Peddie login credentials [the email address and password you use for your Peddie email].

This collection will connect you with reading materials to supplement your studies, as well as offering titles for pleasure reading. From classic literature to modern non-fiction, there is a wide variety of books available.

These digital books are compatible with smartphones, tablets, eReaders and computers. Titles can be read right in a browser or downloaded using the free Sora app. At the end of the lending period [up to 14 days], titles automatically expire and are returned, though you can return a title early so that others may read it. Most titles work similarly to how print book checkouts work: one user/one checkout, though there are some titles with multiple copies and some others that charge the library per use. If a title is not available, simply place a hold on it and as soon as the book is returned, you will be notified.⁣

We encourage you to visit our Sora library at https://soraapp.com/library/peddienj and download the free Sora app. Please email library@peddie.org with any questions, and with any suggested titles you’d like to see added to the collection.
