We still need photos of your child throughout the years, especially 3rd grade! If you have any photos of your child doing virtual learning at home, please send them to richlandtpo@gmail.com. It is easier to sort if you send photos from one grade at a time.

From February 20th to March 3rd, the Bucks County Free Library will be running a Virtual

Library Card Drive. You can visit all 7 branches in person or take advantage of some great digital

resources right from home.

The digital resources are completely free with your library card. Watch movies and TV shows on

your smart TV with Hoopla. Enjoy books and audiobooks on your e-reader, tablet, or smart

phone with CloudLibrary. Get homework help from live tutors on Brainfuse HelpNow. Find

helpful facts, articles, and photos for school assignments by searching through the many kid-

safe resources in Power Kids.

Here's how to register your child for a library card:

1. Click on this link to go to the online library card application for students:

Bucks County Free Library Card

2. Enter the password: $choolYear2022

3. Fill out the application with your child's information. If you have more than one child,

fill out a separate application for each child. Students ages 14+ can fill out their applications.

4. The library will set up your child(ren)'s library card account(s). You'll get an e-mail with the account information as soon as the account is ready. This means you can

start using it right away, even before you have the physical card.

5. After the drive has ended, your child will receive their physical library card from your

school librarian, Mr. Nagle.
