- Assignment Alert
- If students from your class need specific library resources for an
assignment, let us know in advance so that we can suggest a range of
sources and provide the best service possible. Contact us at least 24 hours
in advance when a single student needs information, or a week in
advance for a class.
- Field Trips
- Bring your class to the library for a field trip. Please schedule early
for your choice of day and time. See our
Tour Tips to
ensure a successful visit. Possible programs include:
- Special programs, stories, or videos. Special programs include
Brain Food (for older children), Clifford the Small Red Puppy"
(for younger children), and Book Care (all ages).
- Special book themes (award winners, biographies, pioneers, etc.)
as storytimes or booktalks.
- An introduction to library use.
- A tour of the Youth Room.
- A tour of the entire library.
- Browsing and Check-out.
- Introduction to library research.
- Group instruction on the library’s electronic resources.
- Feel free to contact us with suggestions for other services.
- Subject Collections
- Also known as "Teacher Collections." Teachers may borrow a collection
of materials to supplement the resources of their school media
center. The collection may be for recreational use, or it may be
a subject collection related to a class unit. To request a
collection, call two days (or more) ahead and let us know the
grade level, number of items (you may borrow up to 40; only
20 per subject, please), subject of collection, and format of
materials - books, audio, video, etc.
- Reserve Shelf
- Teachers may request that materials on a given subject be
reserved for in-library use only. This service will ensure that
resources will be available if many students are researching
the same topic.
