So many of us are stuck at home right now, but that doesn’t need to keep us from reading, learning and exploring!
The library is always a great place to start!
- You can check out ebooks through the Park HS Library catalog.
- You can continue to place holds as usual in the Washington County Library Catalog or mobile app. There are a few options available to pick up materials:
- Schedule a future curbside pick up at a branch location.
- Use the Newport and Marine Library Express lockers to pick up your materials.
- Residents can call any Washington County Library branch to sign up for a library card or register an existing card in the system. You’ll get your permanent or temporary library card number immediately and be able to access library materials.
- Check out digital materials and online resources to help keep you informed and entertained. With your library card, you can:
- Download eBooks and digital audiobooks through cloudLibrary, RBdigital, and Libby
- Download digital magazines through RBdigital
- Watch and read along with video storybooks through BookFlix
- Access online tutoring with Homework HelpNow
