Library Service – Live Life Aberdeenshire
All pupils are members of the library service. Use you National Entitlement Card (the top number on your card: the first 14 digits).
Your PIN is the day you were born followed by the month you were born e.g. 12th February is 1202.
The Catalogue page will explain about joining on-line for new members e.g. parents and Resetting PINs. There are videos on the website to explain the normal working, and how to access the digital services.
S3-6 pupils will be issued with tasks to prepare them for courses next session. These are also useful for all students to build-up their literacy skills, even if not continuing with English next session.
If you do not have internet access, learning tasks can be accessed from paper resources. Please contact TGS and let us know.
