Teacher Support Form

Send an assignment alert or "Bag It" request

Attention teachers! We can help you and your students!

Before you assign a research project or other big homework assignment, please send us information about your assignment at least one week in advance. Please provide as much information as possible, including full contact information. This not only prepares the staff for your students' questions, but it also gives us a heads-up to set aside books for the assignment.

Through our"Bag It" or "TeacherAid" services, teachers may request a selection of books, videos, and other materials to supplement and support a curriculum unit. To order a "Bag It" or "TeacherAid" bag, either call us or use the form below. Please make your request at least a week in advance (two weeks if videos or other non-print media are needed).

In partnership with the Des Plaines Valley Public Library District, we publish a Library Connection newsletter for teachers.

To discuss other opportunities to partner with the Library, please contact Kitty Mitchell at 708-301-7908. Boy reading at school locker.
