We Love Learning!

Warren County Library is ready to support you and your students. We aim to nurture a love for reading and learning among the adults and children in our communities. We do this through:

 

Educator Resources

For teachers, homeschool leaders, and educators of all kinds we offer additional services upon request and availability.

Learning Link: An educator focused newsletter published bi-monthly through the school year. Content includes quick overviews of always ready resources, educator tips for using library resources, upcoming literacy initiatives, upcoming holidays and observations, and more. Click to subscribe and see most recent issue.

Library Tooklit for Educators: A new resource for educators providing a quick overview of library resources, including important features, accessibility tools, and sample activities for use in classrooms.


Drop in visits: We would be thrilled to share a story, collaborate on a reading or research challenge, demonstrate how to use library resources, or talk about the library with your audience. Contact your preferred branch or reach out to our Youth Services Librarian to start the conversation.

  • Read Across America week (March 2-6, 2025): We have limited openings available, contact your preferred branch or the Youth Services Librarian to discuss options and reserve a time!


Library Field Trips: We welcome groups of up to 40 to visit our branches for a tour and activity. Students will receive a behind the scenes tour of the library facility, learn how to navigate the library catalog and use popular digital tools, and engage in a hands-on activity. We can tailor the visit to support specific academic goals.

Literacy Initiatives: Our mutual goal of building strong readers and life long learners can make us a good partner for your literacy initiatives. Keep us in the loop regarding research activities and reading programs (eg summer reading) so that we can be prepared to meet the demand of titles and topics. Students are welcome to participate in our frequent reading challenges (and win prizes!); some schools offer extra credit or reduced homework for proof of participation. 

School-Wide Events: We welcome the opportunity to visit with your school community. We are frequent attenders of Back to School Nights, Preschool Orientations, and Kindergarten Orientations. Family literacy and STEM events are some of our favorite activities to participate, whether we are leading a station or sharing information about the library.


Additional services:

  • Full service courtesy cards for employees of districts in our service areas
  • Learning Assist, resource request program that encourages educators and caregivers to easily request topical content for use in their classrooms and learning spaces
  • Student project displays in the local library branch
  • Professional development workshops relating to our resources and/or programs (in personal or virtual)
