All Eugene School District 4J students receive their own Eugene Public Library (EPL) card as part of a partnership with Eugene Public Library! Library cards were delivered to all 4J students last year and will be automatically renewed yearly until they graduate or leave the district.
New library cards are being offered to all new students and kindergarteners this year. If your student does not receive a card once your home school has delivered library cards, please contact or visit Eugene Public Library.
Below is information regarding EPL student cards.
Student cards:
Are free of charge, including for students who live outside the City of Eugene.
Can be upgraded to a standard library card with higher borrowing limits at no charge.
Are automatically issued to all K-12 students enrolled at 4J neighborhood and alternative schools unless they or their parents choose not to participate. Charter schools are not included.
Are automatically renewed each school year for continuing 4J students. New cards will be issued to students joining the district (kindergarteners and new students).
The initial account password is the student’s 4J ID number. We encourage patrons to change their password upon first logging into their account and record it in a safe place. Teachers, 4J librarians, and school secretaries can assist with ID numbers as needed. Please note that Eugene Public Librarians cannot access 4J student ID numbers.
4J students who already have a standard Eugene Public Library card may choose to keep and use both cards or cancel one of their cards.
For preschoolers: Eugene Public Library offers free library cards to all children ages 0-5 who live in the 4J district, regardless of home address.
We appreciate your patience as cards are distributed. Should you have questions about getting a Student Card, please contact your school's administration office.
For questions about using, upgrading, or canceling a Student Card account, please contact Eugene Public Library online, in person, or by phone at 541-682-5450. EPL’s website posting.
