The Grand Ledge Education Foundation (GLEF) is a 501(c)3 organization that provides extra funding for special projects within Grand Ledge Public Schools classrooms, and they are doing a TRIVIA NIGHT fundraiser.  

We are excited to announce the next step in our partnership between the Grand Ledge Area District Library (GLADL) and Grand Ledge Public Schools (GLPS) – STUDENT LIBRARY CARDS! 

This program allows each GLPS student full privileges to access all of the resources of the Grand Ledge Area District Library.  We are proud to join the growing number of schools and libraries across the State of Michigan that are partnering to increase access to resources to provide the best learning environment to help meet our students' informational and educational needs.

With their Student Library Card every GLPS student has access to the following materials:

Delivery — choose your school when you place your request online, and available GLADL items will be delivered within 48 hours or less!

Something for every student from Kindergarten to High School and tools for parents too!

HOW STUDENTS PROCEED...

I already have a GLADL library card.

If you already have an existing GLADL library account, then you are all set; you will now have the option to use either your School ID or your GLADL library card number.

 I do NOT already have a GLADL library card.

You have been issued a Student Library Card automatically. You can now use your GLPS student ID to access any of GLADL’s resources.

What if I don't know my Student ID?

If you do not already know this information, you can obtain it by contacting your school.

What is my PIN number for my Student Library Card?

Your PIN has been set to 1234; you are welcome to log in and change it.

What if I don't want to receive a Student Library Card, or what if my family does not want me to have one?

Please contact the library at questions@gladl.org -- Please specify your child's name and student ID.

How can I request a book?

It’s easy to request a book through our online library catalog at gladl.org.  Students can choose to have their item delivered to their school or pick it up at the public library.

How do we find ebooks?

We have ebooks, audiobooks, graphic novels, and more -- Check out all of our online resources on our website at gladl.org/SchoolTools
