Did you know...
...that as a resident of California, we ALL have the right to sign up for a library card at ANY public library in the state? If you start with an e-card application, some libraries (like Contra Costa County Library, Oakland Public Library and San Francisco Public Library) require you to come in person to exchange an e-card for a full service card and to periodically renew your full-service card. Others, like Alameda County Public Library, will mail you your full-service library card. So wherever you are visiting, as long as you have your valid California state ID, go in and sign up for a public library card. Encourage your students to do the same.
Think about this: on e-resource platforms like Libby, you can enter ALL those library cards. So. Much. Access.
