In an effort to increase student access to KCLS’ online resources, KCLS will be creating special library accounts in its system for all students in our district so they may seamlessly log in from school, home or from any computer or device. The special student accounts will:

Be easy for students to remember. The account number will utilize each student’s school ID number preceded by the School District number (405).

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.

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. This new arrangement between the BSD and KCLS will supplement the traditional library card and improve each student’s ability to access KCLS online research tools as part of their school work.

Teachers throughout the district will additionally be able to utilize the many resources available through KCLS to complement their curriculum and build students’ experience and expertise utilizing library resources.

In October, KCLS will automatically launch the system to each student in Kindergarten through 12th grade. If you want your child to be included in the program, please opt in here or call/ visit your student’s school office.

We’re truly looking forward to this ongoing collaboration between the King County Library System and the Bellevue School District as both organizations are committed to providing resources and services that help our students succeed.

The Bellevue School District acknowledges that we learn, work, live and gather on the Indigenous Land of the Coast Salish peoples, specifically the Duwamish and Snoqualmie Tribes. We thank these caretakers of this land, who have lived and continue to live here, since time immemorial.
