Because teachers find library materials useful in lesson planning and in the classroom, we offer a special library card for you to check out up to 50 items that could include 2 videos or DVDs and 10 holiday books, for a 6 week period. “Teacher Cards” are issued year round to teachers who would like to use our materials as part of the classroom curriculum. Teachers are responsible for these items and must see that they are kept in good condition and returned on time. The teacher will be charged for lost or damaged items, as well as any fines due after the 6 week due date.
A special card will be issued to teachers and this card must be presented in order to check items out. A Teachers Card is issued to teachers only. Friends and family members cannot check out materials with this card. Items checked out on a Teachers Card can be renewed one time for a fourteen day period. Items excluded from Teacher Card check outs are: new DVDs and video games.
