SPARK Cards

Spark Card

 

Thanks to a partnership between Tomball ISD and the Harris County Public Library (HCPL), SPARK will provide access to learning resources through the HCPL including print books, research materials, audio books and more.
 
Staff, students, and families now have the convenience of checking out books from the Harris County Public Library’s extensive collection at home through the Tomball Enterprise Catalog.  Families may also visit the local HCPL branch and use the SPARK card to check-out books and materials.  Books and materials checked out at home may be delivered and returned to your child’s school library saving families’ time. 
 
In Tomball ISD, we truly believe in cultivating a love for learning and, more importantly, developing a love for reading. We encourage parents and students to select and check-out books together at home through HCPL utilizing their SPARK account.  This is a wonderful opportunity for families to read together.
