Body

It’s time to opt in for Student Success Cards: a kid’s key to the Library, available to all students in Santa Barbara Unified School District, now including several charter schools.  

What are Student Success Cards? 

Santa Barbara Public Library (SBPL) and Santa Barbara Unified School District (SBUSD) are working together to make Library access easier than ever for students! Student Success Cards are starter library cards that give students access to library materials and online learning tools – no physical card or trip to the library to sign up required.  

Parents & Guardians: All you need to do is opt-in through Aeries while enrolling your child for school. Watch this short video for step-by-step instructions. 

What can students do with a Student Success Card? 

  • Check out up to three physical items at a time from any SBPL location. 
  • Enjoy full access to SBPL’s Digital Library, including eBooks, audiobooks, BrainFuse HelpNow, Mango Languages, and more. Explore available resources at SBPLibrary.org/DigitalLibrary 

How it works: 

  1. Opt in through Aeries: Parents or guardians opt in through the Aeries platform during school enrollment. Cards are activated by mid-September each year. Watch this short video for step-by-step instructions.
