Every New Haven student has a library card READY and waiting TO BE USED!

}

New Haven Schools and the Clinton-Macomb, Lenox Township and Ray Township public libraries are partnering together to make sure that every student in the district has a Virtual Library Card. This initiative encourages collaborations between elected officials, school leaders, and public libraries to create or strengthen partnerships so that every child enrolled in school has a public library card. Our partnership is one of the first of its kind in the nation!

How the partnership works...

Students who already have a public library card are ready to go.
Every student previously without a library card has been issued one automatically using the student’s New Haven school ID as the library card number.
Students should visit the library’s website (see list on back by school) for information on how to get their password to access a wide variety of resources.
Students are encouraged to upgrade their access so they can check out print materials and more. Please call the library assigned to your school for further information. A parent or guardian signature plus photo ID is required.
Teachers, regardless of residency, are encouraged to apply for a library card if they do not already have one in order to have full access to the resources available to their students.

What students and teachers get...

Tutor.com, connect to a professional tutor online to receive help with difficult homework problems (4 pm-11 pm)
Electronic reference sources including encyclopedias that can be used for writing school papers
eBooks
eMagazines (over 90 popular titles)
Five free music downloads per week AND five hours of streaming per day (over 11 million commercially produced songs and 15,000 music videos)
Free use of the library’s WiFi and public computers featuring Microsoft Oﬃce applications and internet access
Since each library is an independent entity, additional resources may be available. Visit the library’s website or speak to the designated library contact listed on the reverse side of this sheet for further information.

Access is only the beginning...

Encouraging students and faculty to use the resources of the public library is a critical part of the success of this program.
Regular communication between educators and librarians will help public libraries better respond to student homework assignment needs.
Public library summer reading and education programs help participating students maintain or increase grade and reading levels.

Contact Us

While our libraries are independent entities we have tried to make things as easy as possible for students and teachers. Each school has been assigned to the library district in which it resides. Students wishing to upgrade their access so they can check out print materials and other items should contact the library assigned to their school. Feel free to contact any of our libraries for assistance with questions.
