Do you have a public library card yourself? Try that first!
Or you may have an ecard through the school. Follow the instructions below to check.
For families who opted in during registration, this student portal allows access to online library resources through our county library system.
Your Username/Library Card Number is “S” + “student ID number” + “SUSD”
Your PIN is the month and day of your birthday (i.e. “0621” for June 21)
Example: if my student number was '12345678' and I was born on January 1:
My account # would be S12345678SUSD
And my password would be 0101
Did neither of those work?
With parent or guardian permission you can apply for an ecard online for online access.
Public library cards are free.
