  1. I click on the Value Line link but then it prompts me for a username password. How do I view the information?

  2. Hi JD, thank you for reaching out to us! Apologies for the confusion, it seems that the Value Line site sometimes has difficulty recognizing Sarasota County Library access through a direct link, like the one that was in the FAQ previously. If you would like to access Value Line from outside the library, please use the following steps: 1. Go to the Digital Library page on our website (linked in the FAQ); 2. Scroll down to the Investments tab, click on it, and then click on Value Line; 3. Wait for the page to redirect you to the login screen, and once there, type in your library card number in the field under Barcode. This path should work more reliably, and it has now been added to the FAQ proper; thank you for bringing it to our attention, and do not hesitate to reach out to us again with any more library-related questions! - Diego
