FOR TEACHERS ONLY:
ASSIGNMENT ALERT!

While the Youth Services collection is broad in scope it is limited in terms of multiple copies. In order to ensure the best possible library experience for your students we would appreciate advance notice of class assignments. Alert the Library by completing the back of this form and returning it BEFORE the assignment is given.

With your advance notice, the Youth Services Staff can:

Assess the Library’s resources on the assignment and, if necessary, put them on temporary “Room Use Only” reserve. This will prevent the first few students from checking everything out and depleting the collection!

Use interlibrary loan to borrow materials to enhance the collection on the topic. Students will need to plan to do their research in the Library.

Notify the Adult Reference Department regarding the assignment, so that they can be ready to provide additional support.

By giving the Library advance notice of assignments students will have greater success in their research, which in turn leads to increased self-esteem!

Thank you for your cooperation!

Please print this form, fill it out, and return it to the Youth Services Department of the Hackley Public Library one week before the assignment is given to the students. Thank you!
