Each of Eugene School District 4J’s nearly 15,000 students will receive a library card, free of charge and ready to use, officials say
Eugene, OR – According to the statement, this initiative reportedly represents an expansion of the ongoing partnership between Eugene Public Library and 4J.
Officials also said that the school district will distribute the library cards in each school beginning this month and January.
Ladies and gentlemen, these new student cards will provide immediate access to Eugene Public Library’s online resources and the ability to borrow five physical items at a time.
Online resources include e-books, audiobooks, research information, live homework help by professional tutors, streaming movies including documentaries and instructional videos, music and more.
Physical items include books, magazines, DVDs, CDs, art and technology tools, games, puppets and more.
All K-12 students enrolled at 4J neighborhood and alternative schools are eligible for the cards. Charter schools are not included.
Parents were provided with an advance opportunity to opt out of the program. The school district will provide $10,000 annually to support the student card project.
