TCFL's Student eResources Access Card (SEA Card) is a virtual library card that enables every student enrolled in Talbot County Public Schools access to Library eResources for free. eResources are online collections of information arranged for quick and convenient searching on a variety of topics. The SEA Card gives TCPS students access to information that may be copyrighted, licensed, or otherwise not freely available on the Internet without the need for a physical library card. In addition to eResources, the SEA Card number can be used to log in to TCFL's public internet computers for research, entertainment and printing. It may not be used to check out library materials, but students may apply for a fully privileged library card to complement their SEA Card.

What's my SEA Card number, and how do I use it to access the library's eResources?
A partnership between the Talbot County Free Library and the Talbot County Public Schools allows all TCPS students to use their SEA library card to access the library eResources provided. Click on the eResource of your choice and then enter your SEA library card number which is a 9 digit number (TCFL plus your 5 digit student/lunch ID - example: TCFL00000). If your lunch ID is 6 digits or longer, just use the first 5 digits.
