Library Link is a program that provides access to the Seattle Public Library's electronic resources for students at partner schools, including Ballard High School. Your student ID gives you access to the Seattle Public Library's vast collection of information resources. For more information, visit the Library Link homepage.

Did you know? All BHS students have automatic access to digital materials — e-books, downloadable audiobooks, comics, and more—through the Seattle Public Library’s Library Link partnership? This is in addition to their personal library card — students are already automatically signed up.

Thanks Seattle Public Library + Library Link!
