Computer Catalog Access

KCLS

King County Library Student Accounts.docx

To increase student access to KCLS’s online resources, ISD participates in the KCLS Partnership Program. This partnership creates special library accounts for all students in our district. These special online accounts allow students to seamlessly log in from school, home or from any computer or device to access KCLS resources. The special student accounts:

Are easy for students to remember. The account number will utilize each student’s school ID number preceded by the School District number (411).
Give each student seamless access. Students will be able to use the array of databases, downloadable materials (through Overdrive) and online homework help services offered by KCLS without needing a physical card.
Do not accrue fines or fees. Since students will only be able to access electronic materials it won’t be necessary for students to track due dates.

If your student already has a traditional KCLS library card, they will continue to be able to use it to checkout materials from the public library and use in-library computers. The arrangement between ISD and KCLS supplements the traditional library card and improves each student’s ability to access KCLS online research tools as part of their school work.

What to do if a Book is LOST!

If a student has lost or damaged a library book, please replace it with the same book if possible. If not, then please replace it with a comparable item, i.e. hardcover for hardcover, fiction for fiction, etc. We would prefer an item from our Amazon wishlist if you cannot replace the exact book. Please contact us if you have questions about this policy.

We also take donations in the library. You can donate gently used or new books, or order a new book from our Amazon wishlists.

Amazon Wish Lists

Donate a book in honor of your Child's Birthday!

Write a gift message and we will copy it into the inside cover of the book.
