Chatham PASS

• En español
  Chatham County Public Libraries are excited to introduce our partnership with Chatham County Schools called Chatham PASS (Public Library Access for Student Success). This program is open for all students in Chatham County Schools!
  The Chatham PASS program uses students’ PowerSchool ID number to access the public library’s digital and physical materials through any Chatham County Public Library location. This program expands access to library resources for increased student success. Your child’s Chatham PASS can help them complete schoolwork and improve reading skills.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Who Can Participate?
  Beginning in the Fall of 2019, all Chatham County Schools students are eligible to participate in this program! An opt-out form is sent home each fall to re-affirm parent/guardian preference for this program.
  
  Do I need a library card?
  No! Once your student is eligible to participate, they will use their PowerSchool ID number as their library code at both school at Chatham County Library branches!
  
  What will my student have access to at the public library?
  Your student will be able to check out 10 items at one time including:

  • print materials

  • juvenile and young adult audiobooks
