BEECH GROVE — More than 2,800 students in grades K – 12 at five Beech Grove public schools can now access The Indianapolis Public Library’s growing collection of digital and physical materials and online research databases with their new IndyPL Library cards.
The eResource card provides students access to eBooks; eAudiobooks; streaming video, music and magazines; and more than 80 online databases to help with their academic study. The special card allows limited borrowing of books and other physical items, but young children can upgrade to a full Library card by visiting any IndyPL location with a parent or guardian.
The Beech Grove students join nearly 37,000 other school students throughout Marion County who have received Library cards during recent campaigns to meet IndyPL’s strategic goal of providing a card to every student in the county.
The Library plans similar card distributions in Franklin Township public schools in the near future.
