Most materials can be checked out for three weeks. Study prints, fine art prints, transparencies, and vertical files are located in public areas. Study prints are educational posters of various sizes ranging in subject from countries to food groups. Stars found next to the call number indicate print size and are important when locating the material. Another learning device is the transparency collection.
Transparencies are very useful in presentations.
If you are searching for general information, the vertical file is a collection covering a wide variety of topics ranging from diagrams of the ear to booklets on foreign countries. It is arranged by subject and is in the file cabinets next to the transparencies. These are located behind the children's literature section. They have call numbers beginning in S.K. and T.D. respectively and consist of various educational tools such as models of the solar system and learning games for children. An adaptive computer station is available for DRC students.
