Dear Lamar CISD Parents and Guardians,

We wanted to make you aware of a new district policy related to Lamar CISD’s Digital Library Collection, giving parents the ability to allow their children to access library books digitally. The new policy empowers parents and guardians with greater control but also requires them to opt-in in order to ensure their student has continued access to the district’s extensive digital library collection.

Effective November 19, 2024, Board Policy EFB (Local) now requires parental consent for students to access content in the digital library collection. eBooks in the library collection are digital versions of books that can be read on electronic devices such as tablets, e-readers, and computers. These eBooks provide the same content as physical books, but in a convenient digital format, making them easily accessible from anywhere.

Our digital library collection adheres to the same careful selection policies as our physical campus libraries, ensuring age- and grade-appropriate content for all students. Students will only have access to materials suitable for their grade level, as determined by Board Policy EFB (Local).

To support your role in guiding your child’s reading, the Lamar CISD Library Services department encourages you to provide consent for your child’s access to this valuable literacy and learning resource. The simple opt-in process can be accessed in the Skyward Family Access Center under the “Online Forms” menu option.

If you have any questions about the opt-in process, or Lamar CISD’s Digital Library Collection, please contact LCISD Library Services Coordinator, Sarah Falcon, Sarah.Falcon@LCISD.org.
