The Assignment Alert program provides a communication tool for teachers. A simple form or phone call about an upcoming assignment allows professional librarians at the public library to select appropriate materials to place on reserve. Students must use the materials at the library but are assured that materials are available. Grades 4 and 5 call the Youth Services Desk at 766-6794. The entire Public Library serves as a Homework Center by providing information, supplies, and space.
Reference librarians are available to help locate library materials on topics of study.
In addition, numerous tables and study rooms are available. The Children's Staff of the Corvallis-Benton County Public Library invites children and parents to come try out our five instructional software computers. Located in the Children's Room, these computers are available for use in half-hour time slots. Educational and entertaining software programs for children ages two and older are available. Tours and visits are tailored to the needs of each group and may be scheduled with two weeks advance notice by calling 766-6794.
