The Links Generator has been updated to provide a notice to schools that have access to POWER Library via Single Sign-On (SSO). The notice will indicate from which platforms your district has access - ClassLink, Clever, and/or Google. 
 
Below is an example of the notice that will be presented to schools that have access via SSO. 
 
See the notice presented for your school? Login to the platform with your school account and find the POWER Library app.
 
Don't see the notice? If you don't see the notice presented and are interested in SSO, please contact HSLC Support
Why is SSO so great? SSO allows students to sign-in and access POWER Library from inside the school AND from home, and not be prompted for a library card number.
