Libraries

Students will be able to access Timberland Regional Library's:

• magazines & newspapers
• math, history and science resources
• language study programs
• online courses
• job & study resources
• e-books, music, audiobooks, & videos
• encyclopedias & dictionaries
• auto manuals
• almanacs

TRL libraries also provide Wi-Fi and Internet stations. Specific resources may change based on costs and collection development decisions. Current resources are listed on the TRL.org website.

No. Basic or regular library card accounts not only provide access to a wealth of online resources, but also print books, DVDs, CDs (music and audiobooks) that may not be available in electronic formats. The student MyTRL account is only for access to digital resources.

Students will receive their login information from their school. TRL has created accounts using a combination of the student's ID number along with their birth month and year.  The default PIN for the account is the student's month and day of birth.

MyTRL Library Card#: [Student ID] + [MMYYYY]
Default 4-digit PIN: [MMDD]

Example

MyTRL Library Card#: 1027511102012 (Student ID is 1027511, MM is 10, and YYYY is 2012)
PIN: 1023 (MM is 10 and DD is 23)

MyTRL cards are independent of a student’s regular library card. If a student wants to borrow physical materials, they will need to contact TRL directly.

A basic card allows cardholders to check out up to 10 items. The MyTRL account can serve as verification of identity for a basic account, if the student can provide a student ID, their MyTRL number, or birthdate.

To upgrade to a regular card that allows up to 50 items to be borrowed, additional address verification is required. If a minor student (17 or under) is unable to do this, an accompanying adult or caregiver may verify on their behalf.

MyTRL accounts are separate from a regular library account. Student MyTRL accounts will continue to exist alongside any basic or regular library account a student may have.

Student MyTRL accounts are generated using student directory information. Families can choose to opt-out of the release of their student's directory information. Please note that the opt-out applies to all types and uses of student directory information, and is not specific to MyTRL only.
