StudentAccess is a partnership between Johnston County Affiliated Libraries and most schools located within Johnston County to provide students access to electronic resources, books, audiobooks, and other resources available through the public library using their state student/staff ID number. Currently all Johnston County Public Schools and Neuse Charter School participate in the program.
Nothing. Students and teachers in participating schools automatically have StudentAccess accounts unless they opt out of participation. Students and teachers will use their PowerSchool number as their library card number, and the last 4 digits of the PowerSchool number will serve as their PIN/password (if needed).
It doesn't! All students with existing library cards will keep those cards and may continue to use them as they normally would. You have access to even more resources with a traditional library card (resource sharing from other NC Cardinal member libraries and ability to check out up to 20 items). However, you will incur late fees on your traditional card should you have overdue materials.
Absolutely! You are welcome to get a traditional library card per our library card policy at https://www.pljcs.org/cards. There are some additional benefits of having a traditional library card including an increased total checkout limit of 20 items instead of the 10 offered to StudentAccess accounts. You will also be able to request items from NC Cardinal libraries outside of Johnston County with a traditional card. Please note, traditional cards do incur fines for overdue materials, however.
