Teachers, we may be able to help!

Let us assist you and/or students with:

•  Finding a book for recreation.  Books can be a great way to relax.

• Scheduling classes to come to the library.

• Book Talks.  If you decide to have your students read books on certain themes, topics, eras, etc., I can pull books and talk about them to get students interested.

• Research Skills/Strategies-Credible Sources, Citations, Paraphrasing, Plagiarism, etc.

• Using the Card Catalog-How to find books of interest, topics, era, people, etc.

• Database Instruction.  Did you know that we have a great database that has articles on varying topics from thousands of periodicals, books and newspapers?  This is a great source for reciprocal teaching, research, reading for interest and leveled readings.

• Project-Based Learning Collaboration.  We can help you plan your project/unit.

• Leveled Reading.

• Reading for Recreation.  We cab help students choose books at their reading level and interests.

• Change of Environment.

• Student Collaboration.

• Book, Chromebook, Charger Checkout.

• Providing a Quiet Place.  Sometimes students just need a quiet place. 

• Reading or Writing Assignments-We can help create graphic organizers, find adapted books, and other methods to help students through reading and writing difficulties.  We can also work with students individually.  

Please let us know how we can assist you this year!
