Hello everyone!

We have some exciting news to share regarding a partnership between Richland Library and Richland 2. This initiative is part of the ConnectED Library Challenge which is a project announced by the White House. President Obama encouraged library leaders, superintendents and mayors to join together to make sure all children in their communities have library cards. Richland Library is partnering with Richland Two to provide library cards for all students in the district, roughly 28,000.

This partnership will be announced at a press event on Thursday, September 3, along with the announcement of the shared facility being built that will house R2i2 and the Sandhills branch of Richland Library. 

The cards will be given out on September 10 at our school. The cards can be activated online at www.richlandlibrary.com/connected or at any Richland Library location. The cards will be full library cards and give the students access to all the resources at the library. All normal checkout rules and policies will apply.

All children's book fines will be waived. If a student has an existing account, they can go to any branch of the library and their account will be cleared of any and all fines. If a student already has a card it will not let them activate the new one online. They must go into a branch to clear fines and add the new card.
