We welcome suggestions and requests for new book lists!

Our support services for all Rhode Island Pre-K—12 educators allow teachers, school librarians and literacy coaches to borrow up to 90 books for eight weeks at a time. Professional librarian services include consultation, topic-specific book selection, book list creation, and assembly of large loans. Class visits to the library are also highly encouraged. In addition to library tours and overview, our teen library staff offers presentations on research skills and methods to students in grades 9-12.

If you have questions about obtaining a classroom/bulk book loan, or about a class visit to the library please contact us.

If you're interested in getting or updating library cards for the teens you work with, please fill out the form below. Usually, we require two weeks to plan group visits or bulk library requests.
