The YRL School Resource Repository was created for YRL school member libraries to access various resources for programming, acquisitions, collection development, weeding and inventory, curriculum support, kits, training, and professional development needs. You can find the resources, videos, guidelines, and information we've curated for you and your school library or library learning commons.
Please read our Helping Students Succeed pamphlet, which is a brief overview of how YRL supports school libraries!
YRL offers support and services for your school library acquisitions and ordering needs. There are significant benefits to ordering library materials (books, audiobooks, DVDs, Blu-rays, music CDs, etc) through YRL, including great discounts, high-quality materials, and access to a broad, current, and varied selection. After placing an order, the materials are shipped to YRL HQ for processing (cataloging, spine labels, mylar covers, etc.). Once the processing is complete, we will deliver the shelf-ready materials and the marc records for your ILS.
In the Programming Kits section, you will find information about the kits YRL has to borrow, how to use the kits in your programming, and additional resources and instructions, such as kit booking procedures. Please browse through the selection to find the perfect kit or kits to borrow for your library, library learning commons, and classroom programming.
YRL offers curriculum support to supplement your library's collection. If you or any of the teaching staff require books or library materials (DVDs, Blu-ray discs, audiobooks, music CDs, etc.) for upcoming learning units or projects within the curriculum, we can help.
Want to learn more? We offer in-person and virtual onboarding, live and recorded webinars, and more. Additional training and events are available throughout the year. Notifications of upcoming events, training, and workshops are shared in YRL Weekly and on the YRL website in the Events calendar.
TRAC has a wide variety of eResources available to school member libraries, school staff, and students, all of which can be accessed with a TRAC library card. Go to your public library website and log in! There, you'll find a wide variety of eResources to support the learning needs of students, others to support and enhance a love of reading, some purely for interest and fun, and others for people of any age with a reading disability or language learning endeavors.
In 2022, YRL produced a binder for every school member library, a tangible reminder and a resource to have at your fingertips. It is a guide introducing you to YRLs most frequently accessed school services that will help optimize your library while saving your school time and money. We provide annual updates for your binder, and all resources found in the binder can also be found here. The yearly updates will help you stay on top of the newest services YRL has to offer.
