Students in the Novato Unified School District are getting digital library accounts under a partnership between the Marin County Free Library and the Marin County Office of Education.
The 7,000-student district, the largest in Marin, is the first in the county to benefit from the partnership, known as the Student MyCard project, or MiTarjeta de Estudiante in Spanish. The program also allows students to have library cards delivered to them at school.
The digital account allows immediate access to audiobooks, e-books, magazines and free one-on-one tutoring in English and Spanish. With the digital account, Novato public school students can access all library resources with their student ID numbers, just as they would with a library card number.
