Only books that circulate 28 days will be included in the collection. Requests may be made at any Library location. See the brochure, Policy for Teachers Collections, for more details. These multi-media kits based on popular curriculum units or packets based on popular children's books are available to teachers working in licensed kindergarten, day care and preschool classrooms, hospital pediatric wards, residential homes for the disabled and home day care providers. The kits include a variety of books, cassettes, puppets, games, and visual aids designed to assist busy educators with a whole language approach to teaching.
Packets consist of a book plus concrete items that go with the story.
Materials are selected to reflect a wide range of developmental levels. Teachers are encouraged to use only those items which are appropriate for their group. May be borrowed on an individual or organizational library card. Details on obtaining an organizational library card are available at Main Library or your neighborhood branch. Kits and packets may be booked up to three months in advance.
