Spokane Public Schools and the Spokane Public Library system have a longstanding partnership, and all SPS students have a library card with their student ID number.

Here’s a rundown of resources and opportunities available to students and families through their local public library branch:
Host a Board Game Night
There are a variety of board games you can check out! Before you buy one from the store, check the catalog for games like One Night Ultimate Werewolf, Catan, Monopoly, Ticket to Ride, and so many more.
Have a Cook-Off or Bake-Off with Friends or Family
Use the 12-cup silicone muffin pan to make amazing pumpkin spice muffins or the spring cookie cutters. The library has some great cookbooks to help you with your recipes.
Play, Hike, and Explore the Outdoors
Play some croquet, pickleball, volleyball, or basketball all with items from the library’s collection. You don’t need to pay extra to use a gym, just borrow an item and play all day! For some water sports, you can even check out a stand-up paddle board or a Discover Pass to check out our local state parks.
Explore eBooks & Audiobooks
Download the Libby app and access the library’s collection of eBooks, audiobooks, and eMagazines! You can listen to audiobooks while you do homework or stream eBooks on your Kindle or phone while you ride the bus.
