HAAL Pass: Hillsborough All Access Libraries

Student ID Number = Homework Help

HAAL Pass allows every student enrolled in a Hillsborough County Public School, Hillsborough County Charter School, or Hillsborough Virtual School, access to public library resources with their seven-digit student ID number and the default PIN.

In addition to the great resources students receive from their school media centers, HAAL Pass allows them to use their seven-digit student ID number as a public library card.

Note for Parents

Parents may opt their child out of HAAL Pass with this opt-out form. Simply return to your local Tampa-Hillsborough County Public library branch. Students who opt out will not have access to public library resources unless they have a standard Hillsborough County Public Library Cooperative card and know the full card number and PIN.
