Hello Principals,
In cooperation with Henrico County Public Library, for the first time we will be including an optional public library card application form in our ZippSlip system. Our goal is to get a public library card in the hands of every student in Henrico. With a public library card, students can access thousands of additional resources from the public library collection. Resources include wide access to eBooks and eAudioBooks, online databases for articles and reports, encyclopedias and test preparation materials. Also free after-hours access to public library staff who can help find additional materials to complete homework assignments, recommend an interesting read for an upcoming book report or teach how to select and use a database for research.
Parents can elect to use the ZippSlip program to sign up for a public library card or paper applications will be available in the school library. I am also attaching a paper version to this message, if you would like to distribute in your schools’ welcoming packets. Please forward any completed public library card applications to your school librarian. After receipt of the application, HCPS library services will send the public library card to the school librarian for distribution to the student.
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns about this new process.
Thank you,
Suzanna Panter
