DAKOTA COUNTY DIGITAL LIBRARY CARDS AVAILABLE!

Dakota County Library offers all District 196 high school students a fine-free digital library card regardless of residency.  We have just completed set up of these cards with all 9th graders.  Current 10th-12th grade students received their cards last year in their English classes.  Resources include digital access to eBooks, audiobooks, magazines, movies and music, plus additional databases not available at Eastview.  This card can also be used at any of the Dakota County libraries for print materials. If you are new to Eastview or do not remember how to access your Dakota County Student card, please stop by the Learning Commons for assistance.  For additional information:
