Looking to curl up with a good book while we're snowed in and away from the Hassenfeld Library? Click through to learn more about how you can access e-books and audiobooks from the comfort of home.
By Kate Pritchard, MS/HS Librarian

If you’re trying to keep yourself or your children fully stocked with books to read while you’re stuck at home, the Hassenfeld Library is here to help.

Sora
We now provide a large collection of e-books and audiobooks through the Sora app. Instructions for logging into Sora are on our LibGuides and in this video. If there’s a book you want in e-book or audio format, ask a librarian if we can add it to Sora.

Epic!
All K-5 families have access to Epic! School during school hours, and limited free access is available during non-school hours as well. Learn more about how Epic! works on our LibGuides.

But What Should I Read?
We offer personal recommendations by email or through this form. For more suggestions, visit our What Should I Read? LibGuide, where we’ve collected award lists, themed booklists, and other tools that can help you find a book you’ll love.
