Educator Resources

This guide outlines services and resources for the teachers and educators in the community

Welcome

 

  • There are two collections of classroom sets. One is a set of juvenile titles and the other is a set of teen titles. There are 50 titles altogether and each title has 25 or more copies. See below for the titles in both the juvenile and teen classroom set collections.
  • To order a classroom set, use an order form below. (Please note, that you will use your own PPLD library card, an Educator Card or your school's organizational library card to check out the set for 8 weeks.)
    • To order a juvenile classroom set, click here

  • Your classroom set of books will arrive at the PPLD location that you indicated on the form. The books will be in a black bag or black rolling bin, depending on how many copies of the book you have requested. The tag on the container indicates how many copies you requested.
  • Your check-out receipt will have the due date on it. Return this classroom set with all copies in the container to any PPLD location.
  • Again, a classroom set is checked out for 8 weeks. You may check out 3 sets at once, depending on availability. 
  • IMPORTANT: If you need to renew a classroom set, contact Rachel Martin (rmartin@ppld.org). We will renew the set, if possible.
