Scotch Plains Public Library has created some eProgramming events and self-care resources (center icon) for teens.
Resources that are free to residents of Scotch Plains and Fanwood.
In November 2022, both Scotch Plains Public Library and Fanwood Memorial Library joined the Libraries of Middlesex Automation Consortium, simply known as LMxAC. The library catalog not only includes books and resources from Scotch Plains and Fanwood but 36 libraries across Union and Middlesex counties. In June 2024, LMxAC was rebranded with a name more inclusive to the members of the consortium, Sharing & Technology Enchancing Local Library Access (STELLA).
Use your public library card to place an interlibrary loan. The book or resource will be delivered to your home library.
Through your public library card, eLibraryNJ is a collection that contain free eBooks and eAudiobooks. Log into your account using your respective SPPL or FML account with Pin to gain access to the collection.

Once you access the eLibraryNJ collection through your public library card, you will need to use an App to read on tablet or smartphone. Libby is an app similar to Kindle, but unlike Kindle that is connected to an Amazon.com account. Libby only requires you to log in through public library card to connect to your eLibraryNJ account.

Most of the appropriate books for Terrill Middle School will be located in the Middle School account. When you get to the 'shelf' of books, the books with a button 'Read' is an ebook while the book 'Play' is an audiobook (no text included). Please be aware of EXPIRATION DATES. There are no guarantees that the book will still be there past that date. The good news is that multiple people can log in and use the sources.
