If you’re a teacher or homeschooling parent, the Dauphin County Library System can help you spend less time searching for books and more time teaching.
Our Teacher Material Request service makes it easy to gather books and other library materials that support your classroom lessons. Simply complete the online request form, tell us your topic and grade level, and our staff will do the rest. Your materials will be gathered and ready for pickup on the date you request.
Even better, we’ll search the entire system to find the best resources for your students. To give us time to request materials from other library locations, please submit your request at least one week in advance.
This free service has been helping educators for many years. While it’s especially popular with daycare and preschool teachers, it’s available to educators at every grade level.
Susan, a daycare teacher in Harrisburg, regularly uses the service through East Shore Area Library.
“The staff does a great job of filling my requests. The books they select are always age-appropriate and on time. I love it when they include books that are new to me.”
Ready to save yourself a trip through the stacks? Complete the Teacher Material Request Form and let us do the searching for you.
