How to Check Out a 4-Week License
- Fill out the online Home Checkout form by selecting California, Contra Costa County Library as your location, and entering your library card number and last name.
- If new to ABCmouse, you will be presented with an account confirmation page showing a temporary ABCmouse username and password. We recommend saving for future reference, as it is associated with your library card number.
- You can also customize the login information by visiting the Parent Section under Settings (the gear icon) and clicking on My Account, Account Information, and replacing your temporary login information with your own email address and password.
- If a license is not available, you’ll be asked if you want to be added to a waiting list. You will receive an email when a license is available so please make sure to enter your personal email.
- Build a profile for you and your child/children by answering a series of questions. You can add up to three children to your account.
- At the end of the profile set up, you will be given the choice to do an assessment for your child/children. It is recommended that you do so. This will help you to determine what your child needs to work on in ABCmouse. You will have an opportunity to do another assessment at the end of the four weeks to track progress.
After Your 4-Week Checkout
When your 4-weeks are up, you will have an opportunity to sign up for another 4-week check out if there are licenses available. If not, you will be given an option to get on the waiting list. Your child's profile and progress will be saved.
- Click the ABCmouse listing on the library’s website, or just click the following link: https://www.abcmouse.com/blho-check-out
- Select Contra Costa County Library, enter your library card number, last name, and click submit. You should be taken directly to your ABCmouse account.
