How does the PLAY student card work and what resources are available?

PLAY accounts give students in the following school districts free access to Azalea Regional Library resources and services. Students also have access to over 11 million items through the PINES lending network.

  • Greene County Students (GRE)

  • Hancock County Students (HCS)

  • Jasper County Students (JCS)

  • Morgan County Students (MCC)

  • Putnam County Students (PCS)

  • Social Circle Students (SCC)

  • Walton County Students (WCS)

Using the card is easy!

  • Students use their student ID number just like a regular PINES library card.

  • The program is free, and there are no overdue fines. Fees apply for lost or damaged materials only.

  • Use library computers and wireless internet. Check out five items (Audiobooks, Books, DVDs, Launchpads, and more) at a time.

  • Some online resources require creating a free account with a valid email and username/password of your choice. When prompted for a library card number, use your school district prefix (see above) and student lunch number (ex: HCS12345).

How do I log in with the PLAY student card account?

  1. Visit the Azalea Regional Library System’s website at azalealibraries.org and under the Services on the top menu select Digital Libraries. Choose the app and continue to log in.

  2. Type the 3-letter school code in all caps and your student number (ex: HCS12345) to log into any of the library’s online resources.

  3. The temporary password is the student’s birth month and year. (ex: 062010 would be for a student born in the month of June in the year 2010). The password should be changed after signing in for the first time.
