Library Link – Digital Public Library Card for All Students

All Seattle Public Schools students have a Seattle Public Library card for digital resources! If you already have a library card, it’s like having an additional one but only for digital resources like eBooks, audiobooks, and more. 

Student’s barcode and pin

Every student’s library card number starts with 990000 (that’s 4 zeroes) and then is followed by the 7-digit student ID number found on The Source. For the example below, Percy’s barcode is 9900001234567.

Your pin is your birthdate in 4 numbers: MMDD. Example: if your birthday is January 2nd, your pin is 0102. 

eBooks and audiobooks through Libby from OverDrive

Go to Libby App website or download the free Libby app. 

Log in with your library card number! If you want to place a hold on a book, you need to add an email. You cannot use your student email because you will not be able to receive an email from outside @seattleschools.org to that student email. 

Graphic Novels (and streaming TV/movies) through Hoopla

Go to the Hoopla website or download the free Hoopla app. 

Sign-up – you will need your barcode and pin and an email address and then you will pick a password. You can use your @seattleschools.org but if you need to reset your password, you won’t be able to get a reset email so I suggest you use another if you have one or someone in your family. 

Once you sign-up you will just need to use your email and password to sign in. 

Students have emails this year! 

FYI: You can only send emails to other people with @seattleschools.org

How to use your student email:

Log in to Student/Family Portals / Student Portal with your username followed by @seattleschools.org and the password you use for everything

Go to Office 365 from the Clever Portal

Click on Outlook and to send a new message, click on New Message and then you can search for someone by their last name. Reminder: you can only send or receive emails to those with @seattleschools.org in their email.
