Reserve Assignment Collections

When you assign a project that requires your students to use Library resources, it is helpful to us if we know about the assignment ahead of time. This ensures that the first student who visits us does not check out every book we have on the subject at hand. With notice, we have the opportunity to set a collection of appropriate materials aside on a temporary reserve basis. By holding back some of our available materials for use within the building (as opposed to being checked out), we can be sure that material is available to all of your students.

To notify the Children's Department of an assignment involving preschool through 6th grade students, call 330-832-5037; or you may print out an Assignment Alert Form and mail or fax it to the Children's Department of the Library. To notify the Reference Department of an assignment involving 7th - 12th grade students, call 330-832-9831 ext. 312; or you may print out an Assignment Alert Form and mail or fax it to the Reference Department of the Library. (Schools have the Library's permission to make as many copies of the Assignment Alert forms for their teachers as they like.) To contact the Library via computer about an assignment for students of any age, use this online form.
