Need a Hand?
Navigating digital resources can be tricky, but you don't have to do it alone. Whether you're stuck on a login screen or need help finding a specific source, the Paul Johnson Library team is here to support your research journey.
I forgot my login info. What do I do?
Most library resources use your standard school credentials (the same ones you use for your laptop). If a specific database asks for a password you don't have, check the 'Passwords' document in your Library Google Classroom or stop by the desk.
Can I access these tools from home?
Yes! All our digital resources are available 24/7 from any device with internet access. Just log in through the school portal or use the direct links provided on the Databases page. You might need to make a specific account for Digital Maine Library. Simply follow these steps
How do I request a book the library doesn't have?
If we don't own a book you need, we can often get it through Interlibrary Loan (ILL) or buy it for our digital collection. Use the 'Book Request' form to let us know what you're looking for.
When are my books due back?
Standard checkouts are for three weeks. You can renew items twice if no one else is waiting for them. Ebooks and audiobooks return automatically, so you never have to worry about overdue fees for digital items!
Have a detailed question? Email us at melissa.kleinschmidt@msad60.org or courtney.lesmerises@msad60.org for a response during school hours. Please allow up to 24 hours during the week, until Monday during the weekend for a response.
