Library resources to help you through the school year:

• Library Card
  • A ZB Library card is must for all students! It’s needed to access all of our resources from home or school. When visiting the library, students will need to present a library card to access our computers or check any material out. 
  • Learn more about the benefits of having a library card and apply for one today: https://zblibrary.info/get-a-library-card/ 
• HelpNow:
  • (Powered by Brainfuse) Students may submit a question in the online classroom and receive live, one-on-one assistance from a Brainfuse tutor, or use the skills building service to master a concept or skill through state-aligned online lessons. Upload your paper to the 24-Hour Writing Lab and Brainfuse experts will provide constructive feedback and other assistance. *Note: Some functions will require the library card holder to create an account in order to use them.*
• Mango Languages: 
  • Mango offers a fast and convenient solution for our community’s increasing language-learning needs.  There are more than 40 foreign language courses available and 16 English as a Second Language (ESL) courses.  Learn Spanish, French, Japanese and even Pirate!  Mango is an excellent resource for students to get ahead in their foreign-language courses.  You will need to create a profile.  *App available

Many more resources for students (of all ages) and parents are available on our eResources by Name page.
