Cobb County Public Library and Cobb County Public Schools, Marietta City Schools, and Georgia Cyber Academy have partnered to provide Cobb students public library access with their student number. Library PASS provides students with convenient access to valuable resources, promotes lifelong learning, and strengthens the connection between schools and libraries.
Why is this important? Library PASS is a convenient way for all of Cobb's students to get access to their public libraries and the libraries' resources. Library PASS removes barriers by eliminating the need for parents or caregivers to be present to sign up for a library card.
Library PASS is one of the innovative ways we strive to provide equal access to resources and information, improve student engagement, support academic success, encourage lifelong learning, and promote digital literacy. Because when our students succeed, we all succeed.
