Nearly every week of the school year we add new books to Granite’s Sora!

You can find the latest additions in our New Children’s Books and New Teen Books featured collections on the ‘Explore’ screen of Sora.

Examples of books we add regularly:

  • new releases in popular series and genres
  • student and faculty requests
  • more copies of popular books (especially whenever there are 4 or more holds per copy)
  • renewals (some Sora books expire after a set period of time or number of checkouts—when there are holds on an expired book we buy it again)
  • award winners, librarian and teacher recommendations via professional journal reviews, educational organization lists, etc.

Below are more screenshot examples of new books you can find in Sora and in these collections right now, and at the bottom of this post/message is a full list of the titles added to Sora so far this school year.

Suggest a New Sora Collection

Students and staff can suggest specific books or series for purchase in Granite’s Sora, or suggest we get more books in a certain genre or topic. Many of our current collections in Sora started as student requests for a certain genre or type of book.

Granite School District – Titles Added to Sora – 2026-2027

In addition to students and faculty being able to see the latest additions in the collections on the ‘Explore’ screen in Sora, we keep a public spreadsheet listing and linking to all titles added or renewed in Granite School District’s Sora during the school year: Granite School District – Titles Added to Sora – 2026-2027. As time allows we also catalog Sora books in our school library catalogs, viewable by students, faculty, and families in Destiny.
