For Staff
The Maple LMC is a resource for students and staff. Staff members are always welcome to use library space and resources. Teachers and staff can check out books and audiobooks for personal and instructional use.
If you'd like help locating or gathering materials, please use the materials request form on this page.
If you're interested in collaborating on a project, you can stop by the LMC, send an email, or fill out the handy collaboration form on this page.
LMC Bookings
Booking the whole LMC: To book the LMC space, please create an event in Google Calendar with the room set to Maple LMC. We'll reach out to you if we have any questions.
Booking quiet rooms: The LMC also has five quiet rooms (capacity of 4-8 people per room). If you'd like to use these rooms, please email us or stop by the library to reserve them. You can check availability online. Please note: if you book quiet rooms, you should expect that students will be using the main LMC space unless you reserve it separately. This includes lunch!
Northbrook Public Library Cards
The Northbrook Public Library provides library cards to teachers who work at schools in Northbrook. If you would like a teacher card sent to Maple, please complete this form. (The teacher card is for instructional materials -- if you have a library card from another local library, they can set you up with a reciprocal borrower card for personal use.)
