Professional Collection
The library is beginning a special teacher reference collection. It will be housed in the adult nonfiction and will be comprised of materials that will be of special interest to teachers. If you have up-to-date materials that you have purchased and would like to house in the library, we would be happy to include them in our collection. We will try to keep you up to date on new arrivals.

Interactive Books + DVD (teacher checkout only)
These are NEW (We are the only library to catalog one thus far)! They would be great for struggling readers; we have several levels. They are checked out ONLY as a set. The DVD is put into the computer, the child opens the book, and the computer highlights the words as they are read to the student. Some of these are both English and Spanish in the words and reading. Students can toggle between the two! * Indicates English and Spanish. These can be found hanging on the book rack at the end of Juvenile Fiction (Red Dot) section.
