81 Branches. One Club. Unlimited Resources | For the first time ever, Chicago Public School students have direct access to all 81 branches of the Chicago Public Library! Through the 81 Club, students can instantly explore books, digital tools, and countless learning resources.
This month, Decatur Jr. High students received their 81 Club library cards—with a few still on the way. Soon, every student will have access! Students will be using their new accounts and the library’s online databases to find peer-reviewed, credible resources for research and projects across all their classes. It’s an exciting step toward empowering our students to read, explore, and think like scholars!
