Dear Renbrook Families,
As we prepare to be away from school during the coming weeks, it is more important than ever that students are inspired to read every day and have access to titles they are excited about. Below are some platforms you can use to access eBooks from home.
In addition to the resources below, we have our own
Renbrook Library webpage where you can explore eBooks, databases, and online learning tools.
Sora This is the main eBook system Renbrook uses. Go to
soraapp.com/library/gbclama and select ‘Renbrook School’. Students can read online on any device, as well as through the Sora by Overdrive App for tablets and phones.

MackinVIA MackinVIA has access to thousands of classic titles available to check out. Go to
mackinvia.com and select “Renbrook School, West Hartford, CT”. MackinVIA is also available as an app for iOS and Android devices.
