community resources

Students should get a free Pierce County Library card to access library resources throughout our Pierce County community, including books, Overdrive content, and subscription databases. Reciprocal library cards can be arranged with neighboring library systems, including King County Libraries, Tacoma Public Libraries, and Puyallup Public Libraries, which will give users access to more digital and print content.

library expectations, borrowing, & access links

SHS School Closure and Overdues

To help with school closures, any books that were recently checked out or overdue by less than 30 days as of March 13, 2020 will be renewed through June 1, 2020 to help avoid possible late fees. Books already marked as lost, will remain lost and may still accrue late charges when/until returned.

Student Expectations

Libraries are used to meet the needs of many patrons with diverse questions and needs. Our community appreciates a library that is a welcoming, productive, considerate place to work, think, read, design, collaborate, study, share, and ask questions. Be respectful. With privilege comes responsibility. Please visit Student Expectations for more information.

Library Accounts

Access your library account at http://library.sumnersd.org, choose Sumner High School, and login using your student computer login and ID. Use the "my info" tab to find your account, history, items out, and due dates.

Borrowing

Library books are checked out for two weeks at a time and may be renewed up to three times if there are no current holds on the title. Materials that are already late cannot be self-renewed, but they can be renewed in person.
Please return or renew books on time. Lost, damaged, and overdue books are subject to fines as defined by district policy. We believe that the library should be a free and accessible resource for all students. Books held past their due date cannot circulate.
We send overdue notices out weekly through student email, but there are many ways to keep informed and avoid fines: 1) check the due date stamp in the back of the book (we still do), 2) ask the library staff to check due dates and/or renew books, 3) check account or renew online by logging in to "My Info" with the district computer ID and password, 4) check SBLSD gmail account for weekly overdue notices, and/or 5) watch EdAccess for current fines for lost or damaged materials.

WiFi & Technology

for Internet and Chromebooks

We are a one-to-one school district, where each student carries a district-issued Chromebook or similar device. Students can come to the library for assistance with repairs, loaners, charging, and questions about apps and extensions.
Using technology comes with the expectation of individual responsibility when using borrowed equipment and access to the Internet.
WiFi Access and Directions

Library eSources

for reference & media sources

Students can access all library databases and subscriptions with any Internet-connected device, including Gale Virtual Reference Library (with over 900 reference volumes), History in Context, eLibrary, JSTOR, ProQuest Newsstand, World Book Online, and more. All make great sources for reference, homework help, and research projects!
You will need our Password List for access away from school (open with school Google account)

Overdrive Catalog

for audio & ebooks

Our Overdrive ebook and audiobook library uses the same service that the Pierce County Library System does, but the content is collectively shared among our secondary schools in Sumner. Overdrive is supported on many systems, including iOS, Android, Google, Kindle, and more.
Read in your browser or download the Overdrive app to a device, select Sumner School District as your library, browse for audio and ebooks, and download to your device. Enjoy!

Library Catalog

for library titles

Students can find library materials through the SHS Library Online Catalog, and should bookmark library.sumnersd.org for access from home or from any Internet-connected device. Anyone can search our catalog as a guest, or students may go to the SHS Library Catalog link, and click the "My Info" at the top, using the SSD login/password to renew, review, and/or place holds on books. Helpful apps are available for our Destiny Catalog and Overdrive collections.
