Welcome to the Media Center and online learning! I am the School Librarian and Online Mentor at Haslett High School. I have been working at Haslett High School since 2021. I am grateful to be part of such an inclusive community. I look forward to providing library services to all our students and staff and representing the Viking Spirit in all I do!
The Media Center strives to provide a positive learning environment for all students that encourages creativity, enhances achievement, and promotes life-long reading and learning. There are many digital and print items to enhance our school's curricula and well as for individual enjoyment and entertainment.
Student Success Initiative
Capital Area District Libraries (CADL) is partnering with Haslett Public Schools to help students easily access all the education and entertainment options available at CADL’s 13 branches, Mobile Library and online collections. Through the Student Success Initiative (SSI), all students will receive a free CADL SSI library card no matter where they live, even if they already have a regular CADL card.
Getting & Using a Card:
The account is created by adding the letters HAS to your student’s school username (the one they use to log in to the computer at school). For example, a student with a school username of 25smithma would have a CADL “library card” number of HAS25smithma. Your student can use this card number to use the digital services at cadl.org. They can also use it at any CADL branch - or show their student ID - to check out up to five books, audiobooks, or magazines at a time.
