Arlington Echo Library and Resources
Arlington Echo Library and Resources
Through a generous donation and help from Media Services, Arlington Echo has their own school catalog!
Overnight campers will have access to cabin libraries where they can check books out that they started at Arlington Echo and return them to their home school when they are finished!
Coming Soon! Teachers will be able to 'check out' resources for use in their classroom - for example - taxidermied animals, skulls, litter kits, watershed models - not all things can go through basketmail so they might have to pick them up themselves ! (If you want to borrow something now - you do not have to wait - just reach out with your needs!)
Coming Soon! Professional library for teachers with books on the environment, outdoor teaching, lessons, etc.
