Gain access to helpful student resources with a card from the Antioch Public Library
 
Welcome back to school!  The Antioch District Library is here to support you through this unusual school year.  The library is currently open, but we are still encouraging users to sign up online for a temporary digital library card. This library card will be your ticket to access our extensive online research tools and downloadable content that can be accessed 24/7.

Also, the library offers printing and scanning services which are currently free of charge. You can send documents to be printed here.
 
Some of the online resources the library offers include:
​

Learning Resources

Lynda.com:  Lynda is on demand online videos on a range of in depth professional topics, including tutorials on hundreds of computer applications and  learning paths for career exploration.  If you are interested in a career in marketing, digital design, computer science or video or music production, Lynda will have a learning path for you.
  • Brainfuse: provides free, online tutoring in many high school subjects from 2 p.m. - 11 p.m. each day.
