Atlanta students will gain broad access to library system this fall
Starting this fall, all Atlanta Public Schools students will have access to the Atlanta-Fulton County Library System system — whether or not they have a library card.
Library officials are changing the rules in the hopes of removing any barriers that prevent students from using Fulton’s facilities. The move echoes efforts in Gwinnett and Cobb counties and is intended to provide equal access to information for students across the district. They will be able to use online materials like e-books, virtual tutors and language classes, and check out books, movies or CDs at library branches. All that’s needed is a student ID. There will be no late fines on unreturned materials lent to students using their school IDs.
