Teacher Packs
For Teachers in Private and Public Schools
For Daycare Providers and Care Givers

What are they?
Teacher packs contain 20-30 age/level appropriate books gathered by the literature specialists on the children's staff as a courtesy service of the Appleton Public Library. They are a handy way to provide students and children with additional reading materials related to curriculum or just for fun.
 
We will gather packs of materials in a subject area or by a specific author. We are unable to pull titles from lists provided by you, but would be happy to instruct you on how to place holds on specific titles or to use one of the library's other teacher services.
 
What are the time limits?
Teacher Packs can be checked out for 4 weeks. Materials in the pack can be renewed at home, school or at the library on the Internet using the online catalog. All materials are subject to the normal fine policy. Loss and/or damage to materials are the responsibility of the borrower and the borrower agrees to accept full financial responsibility for lost or damaged items.
 
Due to the volume of Teacher Packs we anticipate preparing, we ask you to limit your requests for teacher packs to no more than three per month. You may request one to three topics per request and we will put a total of 20-30 books in your teacher pack. Depending on the availabiltiy and popularity of certain subjects and authors, staff may need to limit the number of books we give you.
 

How Do I Register for a Teacher Pack?

There are no special forms to fill out. You just need to have a valid Appleton Public Library card (or a card from one of the other libraries in our system).
 
How Do I Get a Teacher Pack?
Call 832-6188, fax 832-6182, or e-mail cdejardin@apl.org before you need the books and tell us what types of books you want (subjects, fiction, non-fiction, etc.). Teacher pack preparation may take up to one week. We will gather the books and notify you when the pack is ready. After we notify you, the books will be held for you at the circulation desk for three days.

For more information please call 832-6187

Reasonable accommodations for persons with disabilities will be made upon request and if feasible
