OPAC (click on the word)--this is our portal to the Illinois Heartland Library system, which has over 500 members. If you want to know if a certain book is in OUR Grade library, you must limit your search to "My Library."
Log-in is in the upper right hand corner, and the username and PIN are both the student ID number. Once you are logged in, on the left you can see how many books are checked out and when they are due under My Account. They cannot be renewed online, but can at school. Some computers are set up to remember log-in information, so if you get your public library information, you might have that set up and the computer is logging you in as soon as it sees that portal. You'll need to turn it off if multiple people will be checking their accounts.
Requests can be made, but please do this sparingly. Mrs. Grove has to scan each book as it comes in, check it out to the student and then find out what class he/she is in and deliver it to them. For one book it's not too much, but if 10 kids request books, it becomes a lot to accomplish!
