What is the PINES PLAY Card?
The
Azalea Regional Library System, Walton County Libraries, and Walton County School District recognize that reading is critical to academic success. We have partnered to offer the PINES PLAY (PINES Library Access for Youth) card - a digital library card account especially for students in grades K-12 - to all students in Walton County Schools.
What are the benefits?
Your student can check out up to five items and place two holds at once with the PLAY Card. PLAY Cards
do not accrue fines for overdue items. (Fines will still accrue for lost, damaged, or long overdue items.) Use the PLAY Card account to access digital resources available only to library cardholders at
https://gapines.org/.
Students are eligible for a PLAY card even if they already have a PINES library card.
