	Digital Books Students can borrow hundreds of electronic books and audiobooks from Winnipeg School Division's digital library using the Sora app. Many of the materials are available in French to support our French immersion programme. In addition, students with a Winnipeg Public Library patron number can link the two accounts in Sora and expand their choices. To log in at home: username = student number, password = the last four digits of that student number.
