Check out the Marshall Library Catalog and see if a book is in our library and if it is available. You can place books on your "Favorites" list and place books on "Hold" for pickup. Search by Keyword, Title, Author, or Subject. You can also check out an ebook using your CVUSD email address and password.
Check out the website for the Castro Valley Library. You can search for books, movies and magazines. You can log in with your library card and place a book on hold or renew books you've checked out.

BOOKOPOLIS is a social reading site that allows kids to log, rate, and review books they've read. With a parent's help, kids create an account, choose an avatar, and create lists of books they'd like to read, ones they're currently reading, and ones they've already read. Kids can browse book lists curated by award winners, Common Core-aligned books, read-alike ("if you liked this, try this") suggestions, and more. These built-in lists are available for early readers (grades 1 to 3), older readers (grades 3 to 6), and middle school readers (grades 6 to 8). There's also a Fun & Games section where kids can engage in word games, trivia, and puzzles. Kids earn points and badges by logging their reading and recording their progress, and their friends, parents, and teachers can view their updates.
