Students will automatically be registered for digital library access. They will be able to use their card number to log into and use library resources.

Card numbers will be emailed to the student’s school email address.

STAR accounts allow students to borrow e-resources and access library databases just like any other Tazewell County Public Library card.

Yes, the student account is free. There are no overdue fines for student accounts that are part of the STAR initiative.

You don’t need to take any action to get a STAR account for your child.  All Tazewell County Public Schools students from pre-kindergarten to grade 12 will automatically be enrolled in this program.

The Library needs your child’s name, school attended, and school email address. No other information is needed or collected to register your child for a card. This information is provided by the school system.

If you do not want your child to have access to electronic library materials, you may opt out. Download this opt-out form you can sign and return to his/her school by Friday, October 23, 2020.  Be aware that students who opt out of STAR will not be able to participate in classroom use of library resources unless they have a Tazewell County Public Library card and know the full card number.

Congratulations on being proactive! Your child can still be registered through the STAR initiative; this just means they will have access to more digital checkouts. They will still need to bring their physical card into the library if they wish to check out physical items.
