SCCLD Student eAccounts
A Library Card is the Most Important School Supply of All!
Santa Clara County Library District (SCCLD) is partnering with all of the public school districts in our service area to offer free library eAccounts to all K-12 students. This library eAccount provides access to quality online information and resources.
Please check in with your school on details for your student’s access or navigate to our Accessing Your Account page for a hint!
Those using Student eAccounts should log in to the dedicated Student Portal website for library resources.
Two Student Portal websites are available: Elementary and Middle School Student Portal, and High School Student Portal.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an eAccount?
The Student eAccount is based on the Student ID information so it is easy to remember. Students can use their eAccounts to log into the Student Portal. The Student Portal is available 24/7.
Go to the Elementary & Middle School Student Portal, opens a new window or the High School Student Portal, opens a new window.
Is my child's school participating?
The Accessing Your Account page on the Student Portal website can help you determine if your child's school is participating in this program. In addition, you can find login hints for your child's account. If you do not see your child's school, contact us so we can work with your school to expand access to your school!

What can my student do with their eAccount?
Access online resources such as research databases, scholarly articles, eBooks, tutoring, language learning, and more. And we know students also need some down time, so they will also have access to our digital movies, music, eComics, videos and more from our online library.
What information will be collected? Will it be shared?
In order to successfully create these eAccounts, the Library will be using the student’s name, phone number, address, birthday and student ID number.
SCCLD takes privacy and security very seriously. SCCLD never shares information with third parties, and as a Santa Clara County department, abides by stringent security guidelines. View our Privacy Policy.
What if my child already has a Library card?
If your child already has a Library card, we will still create an account using their Student ID. Your student can then choose which account to use.
Additionally, a student can easily attach or merge a full-use library card for in-person use at any SCCLD library to check out books and other materials, without being asked to provide additional proof of their information. If any of these pieces are missing, a student will need to visit a library to provide ID, birthdate, and proof of address in-person to get a physical SCCLD library card.
