Students in Middle Georgia can now use their student ID or lunch card at local libraries

Public School students in Macon-Bibb, Jones, Macon, and Twiggs counties can now access public library materials using their student identification or lunch numbers through the Pines Library Access for Youth — or PLAY — card program.

The PLAY card program gives students free access to public library materials and online resources to help them succeed in school.

Students can access computers, printers, and wireless internet as well as attend free library programming including S.T.E.A.M and technology-based workshops, book clubs, game nights, tutoring, and presentations from special guests and community partners.

Why do libraries matter?: In the era of ebooks, Amazon, and digital reading, you may wonder why news coverage of libraries is still important. Libraries are about more than just books. If you think all you can do at a library is check out books, you haven’t been to one in a while. Your local library is a community center that offers classes and programs, and more to individuals and families.
