Kids

Harnett County Public Library partners with local public and private schools to support students' ongoing education. We share the belief that a love of books and learning is a strong foundation for student success, and we are working together to provide every Harnett County student access to electronic resources found at their public library.

Students at participating schools are able to use their Student ID number to access the Harnett County Public Library's educational electronic resources. We call this initiative StudentAccess.
