All Access Pass: Books, Online Learning Resources, and More!
The All Access Pass is a partnership between Manatee County Public Library and the school district giving all enrolled K-12 students access to public library resources with their Student ID number.
The All Access Pass will allow students to check out books and other material in the library but will also give them access to so much more.
With their Student ID card number, students will be able to access an amazing array of digital resources including one-on-one tutoring with Tutor.com, practicing a foreign language with Mango, researching for projects with multiple databases, and developing computer, career, and literacy skills with LinkedIn Learning. Student ID numbers will also give students access to downloadable eBooks, eAudiobooks, movies, music, and magazines.
Students can also explore interests and hobbies by checking out items from the Library of Things* which includes telescopes, musical instruments, literacy kits, and museum passes, to name just a few things, as well as connect with other students throughout the County in a variety of Kids and Teen programs and groups.
HOW TO USE YOUR ALL-ACCESS PASS:
Your Library Card Barcode is your student ID number. Your PIN number (password) is the last four digits of your student ID.
Your current preferred pickup location is the Central Library (you can change your preferred pickup location to the Library branch which is most convenient for you in your account settings).
You may make the following changes to your library card through your online library account at https://manatee.polarislibrary.com under “My Account”:
- Change your PIN number
- Change your preferred pickup location
- Save your personal reading history
- Update your contact information
