CLASS Project

• Access NHCPL research databases 

• Borrow digital materials such as e-books, e-audiobooks, and e-magazines 

• Borrow up to 2 print books, audiobooks, or magazines at a time (no DVDs or music CDs) 

• There are no overdue fines or fees for CLASS Project accounts.

Staff are still encouraged to visit the library to obtain a traditional library card, and teachers can apply for an Educator card with extended borrowing privileges. 

About Educator Cards

• These cards are separate from your personal NHCPL card and from your CLASS Project account. 
• The Educator card offers expanded availability of library materials for classroom use, with an extended checkout limit and checkout period (up to 50 items, checked out for 6 weeks). Items may be renewed once.
• To apply for an Educator card at any NHCPL location, the teacher should bring a photo ID, proof of mailing address, and verification of current status as an educator in New Hanover County.
