The Brooklyn Public Library is offering a free ecard to teens in response to the national wave of book banning.

"The eCard gives access to 350,00 e-books, 200,000 audiobooks and over 100 databases, and it will be valid for one year."

"To learn more about the program or apply for a free eCard, teens can send a note to BooksUnbanned@bklynlibrary.org or via the Library’s teen-run Instagram account, @bklynfuture."

Or use the Sora app.

Video* and slideshow for how to use the Sora app

* Note: We now have "single sign-on" through google chrome for Sora. So if you are logged into your PPS account, you won't have to log in again.

Also thanks to Ms. Cassie Lanzas, Wilson HS Librarian, for making this video and sharing it for all of PPS to use!
