We heard some students haven’t been taking advantage of their student library cards and we are SHOOK. IYKYK: Students from Spokane Public Schools, Gonzaga Preparatory School, Gonzaga University, and Spokane Colleges all receive a free Spokane Public Library card with their enrollment and gain unlimited access to our collection. What does this mean? We’ll break it down for you.
Gonzaga Preparatory School, Gonzaga University, and Spokane Colleges Students
Students from these institutions can log in to their library accounts using the Partner Login section on our sign-in page. When you log in for the first time, you will be prompted to fill out some information and to create a PIN. Once saved, a digital library card will display your new student library card number.
Spokane Public Schools Students
If you are a Spokane Public Schools student, you can log into your account in Clever and access your library materials in your school account. Your library card number is 27413081 + your student ID #. Your PIN is your birthday (MMDD) unless you change it in your account.
