Currently, we only operate on Wednesdays. At all other times, please call the LSN Office at 986-3000.
If you come to our first Book Club meeting during the 20-21 school-year ready to discuss five books you read over the summer, you will receive a coupon for a free scoop of Poppy’s Ice Cream.
If you can’t make our first meeting, we can probably work something out. Finally, a big thank you to Poppy’s Ice Cream and Coffee House right here in Lee’s Summit for helping to promote literacy at Lee’s Summit North High School.
Beginning with the 2019-2020 school year, the LSR7 School District partnered with Mid-Continent Public Library so that every student has a Mid-Content Public Library card. Below is an email from Mid-Continent explaining the details and a bit about some of the many awesome resources students can access via MCPL.
The short version though is this, Students’ MCPL Library Card = LS1234567 (Capital LS+Lunch Number) MCPL PIN = MMDDYYYY (Eight digit birthday)
During this critical time when you and your students and their caregivers need help the most, Mid-Continent Public Library provides access to a wide range of online resources that can help with schoolwork at home. As you contact your students, please remind them that they can use the Library virtually with their Student Access Passes (Library card).
You can help your students begin using their Access Passes today!
The Lee’s Summit School District has chosen a special format for Student Access Pass numbers, which gives access to Mid-Continent Public Library’s online resources:
“LS” + student ID number (i.e., LS1234567)
By using their Student Access Pass numbers, your students can use the following from home:
Online Resources: MCPL has more than 200 online resources that can be used for research, school projects, online learning, and more. One such resource is Live Homework Help from Tutor.com, which is available in English and Spanish and connects students with a live tutor who can assist them in a variety of subjects. When accessing any online resource on mymcpl.org, type in the student’s Access Pass number using the format above.
