Where do I find audiobooks and e-books? Beginning 2025, use the SORA database (and app) to enjoy most e-content for pleasure reading. It is in our list of databases in Canvas under “APS Library Resources” link. It is also linked from Rapid Identity (My Access) and the top of the Destiny Discover catalog home page.

Unlike in the past, Destiny Discover helps ONLY for print materials across APS. MackinVia no longer links e-books and audiobooks.

Other sets of E-books and audiobooks are available in the following databases which are accessed via Canvas:

- Nonfiction: Proquest E-Book Central and J-STOR, massive databases of nonfiction for advanced researchers but no audio-books.
- Mostly stories: Teen Book Cloud and Tumblebooks, both of which have many classics and audio-books.
- Picture books and easy chapter books: TumbleBooks

School name? We go by “H-B Woodlawn.” (Include the hyphen and spaces.)

Reading and Listening:

Follett e-books have these features.

Look for the “hamburger menu” to show yourself the track numbers of an audiobook which may be slightly higher than the corresponding chapter numbers of the print version.

Many e-books have these features: Some titles highlight the text as a robot reads it aloud. (Text-to-voice.) You can increase the speed of the reading and find citations too.

Trouble-shooting:

Bring your device to the library if you need assistance.
If “browsing a book” enabled you to read it a little, it’s yours to check out. You should do so, or it won’t hold the point where you left off reading or listening.
It may take five minutes or more to download an entire audiobook. If many students are downloading audiobooks at the same time, it requires a good deal of bandwidth.
