Kansas Library eCard

This is the card for Kansans that can be obtained at any public, school, or academic library in Kansas. It provides access to digital materials available to all Kansas residents (ebooks/audiobooks, research databases). It is not so much a "card" as it is a login for online materials. (No card is needed for use of the databases).
