All Students are approved for 2015-2016 to automatically get their own Limitless Libraries Card (your student ID) unless your parents opt out. When logging in, your username will be your student ID and your password is always your birthday in a 4 digit format. My birthday is Sept 8th, so my PIN is 0908 (not really...mine's different, don't go hacking my account).
Reserving Books through Limitless Libraries comes in very handy when you are working on a specific unique topic and you need more than one book.
