Going online to research homework assignments, select a scary movie or read a book for pleasure now is a lot easier for students in some Macomb County school districts. They can use virtual library cards to access online information at four libraries using their student ID numbers. Or, if they prefer, use a traditional library card. The access to books and other information recently expanded to include students in the L’Anse Creuse Public School District. The program began last year in the Chippewa Valley School District, and Clintondale Community Schools joined this year, too. “We are one of the first in the country with so many different, autonomous libraries to be able to work with individual school districts,” said Larry Neal, director of the Clinton-Macomb Public Library. “There are four libraries used by students in the L’Anse Cruse district and we worked together to give students access to online resources by simply using a student ID number.”
