Teacher Cards

As a courtesy, the library offers teachers in the Longwood Central School District Teacher Cards which gives access to Longwood Public Library’s online subscriptions beyond that of Suffolk County’s digital branch, Live-brary.com. Our wealth of online resources includes Brainfuse Homework Help, online classes, test prep, research databases, and Stream & Downloads including eBooks, audiobooks, movies, and magazines.Teacher Cards are issued in the beginning of the school year and automatically renew each year if employed as a teacher in the Longwood School District. In addition to using a Teacher Card online, it is encouraged that teachers visit the library and use their personal home library cards to reserve and borrow physical materials.
