Library in a Box
The Twinsburg Public Library "Library in a Box" Program
is designed for teachers who need multiple copies of one title, or
need special collections to supplement their  classroom
and school library. This is a pilot project, starting in January of
2001. More titles and collections will be added depending on the teacher
suggestions. Materials are funded by the Twinsburg Public Library's
General budget. This project grew out of TPL'S five year plan objective
to share resources and cooperate with the Twinsburg School District,
teacher requests and recent budget cuts for school libraries. When
all phases are complete the collection will be threefold: 1. Multiple copies of novels. 2. Boxes containing 15 individual novels to supplement classroom libraries for silent reading programs. 3. Collections of non-fiction books to supplement unit lessons. |
