Do You Have A Library Card? Since our Pius X library room is now a classroom, it is imperative that all students possess a library card from his/her area public library for school research purposes. Part of our academic strategic plan is aimed at improving our student’s research writing/research skills.

Many library resources and databases can be accessed from home through a public library’s website if one’s home computer is equipped with the internet and you have a library card. Students, you will need a library card from the public library in the school district where you live.  Get yourself a library card.
