Please Note
Students, if you want to sign-in to our Destiny Discover website to access ebooks and audiobooks, you will need to use your DOE student email address. There are e-books available through both Destiny and Sora. The Sora catalog is separate from Destiny, but you can find it on the Destiny Discover home page. If you want to access the ebooks and audiobooks available through Sora on your phone or tablet, you need to download the Sora app (see below). You can access the ebooks available through Destiny directly through the Destiny Discover site.
