Student Cards
McKinley Memorial Library wants to encourage patrons of all ages to read. A Student Card is available to students within the Niles School District. The school will acquire a signed permission slip for the student in order for the Library to create the Student Card. A Student Card allows students to check out up to 3 print juvenile materials and access eMedia and digital resources. Holds are not permitted. Students may have a Student Card maintained by their school in addition to a Juvenile Card which requires a parent/legal guardian signature at the time of application.
