Teacher Services
Teachers may borrow up to fifty items. Teachers should come in and select their own materials; however, teachers may request to have book collections gathered for them. All requests for collections should be made one week in advance, and should be specific as to subject, grade level, and fiction or nonfiction materials. When possible, a copy of a book list or other specific information should be submitted. Readiness of these collections is subject to the availability of library staff.
The library reserves the right to limit a teacher to five items on any one subject area, and ten titles by any one specific author.
Items checked out for classroom use on a Teacher Account will be due in 28 days and can be renewed twice for an additional 14 days per renewal. Items may be renewed in person, over the phone, or online (excluding interlibrary loan items). Items may not be renewed if there are holds for those items.
Not all collections may be borrowed as part of a teacher’s collection including DVDs and holiday materials. These items must be borrowed for the standard loan period.
Items for personal use may not be borrowed as part of a teacher’s collection.
Any items checked out in a teacher’s collection are the responsibility of the cardholder and follow the same Damaged & Lost policy. (See Section 2.6)
The children’s area has a number of bibliography sources, information about authors, and creative teaching aids. Classes that wish only to visit and browse may arrange a convenient time by contacting the library in advance. Tours of the library and instruction in use of the library may also be scheduled in advance with library.
Advance notice of assignments is always helpful. If we have a limited supply of materials on the subject, we can pull a collection that can be put on closed reserve for use in the library so that all students will have equal access to the material.
Teachers can notify the library by phone or email to the Youth Services Coordinator.
