Library Card Sign-up Month
Reciprocal Card/Teacher Card
A Carmel Clay Public Library (CCPL) Reciprocal Library Card allows users to borrow physical items such as printed books, CDs, DVDs, etc.
However, a Carmel Clay Public Library Teacher Library Card for staff who live outside the Carmel Clay Public Library (CCPL) service district allows FULL access to the above as well as all of CCPL's resources including digital resources. Some of the most popular resources include:
- OverDrive: eBooks and downloadable audiobooks
- Zinio: digital magazines
- Tutor.com: online one-on-one tutoring for all ages (including adults) and essay/cover letter/resume review
- Databases: including Pronunciator, a learning system for over 60 languages, including English
- And coming soon! Hoopla. Hoopla will add streaming movies, TV episodes, and music to our 24/7 branch, as well as graphic novels, comic books, and additional eBooks.
How to obtain your CCPL Teacher Card...
If you do not have a Carmel Clay Public Library Teacher Card and would like to receive one for the first time, please see Terri Ramos in the CHS Media Center. Terri will process your information and get your first CCPL Teacher Card set up for you. It's that easy!
If you live in Carmel and have a regular Carmel Clay Public Library Card, you do not need to do anything. Your regular Carmel Clay Public Library Card entitles you to all the services provided by the Carmel Clay Public Library.
