- Instantly get digital books, magazines, music, movies, and newspapers
- Find an online tutor every day from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m
- No fines and fees ever
Retrieve Your Card Information
Having trouble using your Student Success Card online? Try these tips:
- Make sure you're accessing our digital items either through our website (lapl.org) or using our name, Los Angeles Public Library, in the e-media app. Our name is very similar to the Los Angeles County Public Library.
- Make sure you're using your library card number (including “SSC” with no dashes or spaces) and PIN, the last four digits of the telephone number in your account. It might be an older number than you expect.
If you still can't log in, fill out the form below for assistance.

Only students enrolled in a K-12 school can get a Student Success Card. The card can be used until the student turns 22 years old. There are never fines or fees on a Student Success Card. Even if a student loses a book, they will not be required to pay for a replacement. Students can borrow up to 5 physical books using a Student Success Card and 30 physical books using a regular library card. With a Student Success Card, students can get up to 2 hours of computer time per day. If a student has both a Student Success Card and a regular library card, they can get up to 4 hours of computer time a day.
