Virtual Library Cards
What is a Virtual Library Card?
To ensure that the K-12 students in the St. Clair Shores Public Library service area have access to resources critical for success in school, the library is partnering with local school districts to ensure every student has a library card. Students will be given access by using the student’s school ID number.
- Lake Shore students will be issued a virtual library card using the prefix “LAK- For Lake Shore” followed by the student’s school ID number as the library card number.
- Lake Shore will use the last four digits of their student ID number as their four-digit pin.
- South Lake students will be issued a virtual library card using the prefix “SLS- For South Lake Schools” followed by the student’s school ID number as the library card number.
- South Lake will use their month and date of their birthday as their four-digit pin. Example: August 25 would be 0825.
- Students attending school in St. Clair Shores are encouraged to enhance their access so they can check out print materials and more. A library card application with a parent or guardian signature and school ID is required for those living outside of St. Clair Shores but attending in the district.
Do you have a student number, but are having trouble logging in? Please call us at (586) 771-9020.
What Students and teachers get:
The Library Board has worked hard to make policies “educator friendly” so that use of library resources will be integrated into classroom instruction whenever possible. Our goal is for every student to become a lifelong, educated consumer of quality information for success in school and in life.
Students and teachers will have access to:
- Electronic reference sources and homework help, including encyclopedias, that can be used for writing school papers
- eBooks
- eMagazines (over 90 popular titles)
- Additional resource help is provided by phone, email, or in-person.
Do you have a student number, but are having trouble logging in? Your pin will be the last four digits of the phone number you have on file with the school. If you are still having trouble, please call us at (586) 771-9020. |
