The Youth Services Department maintains an active
interest in education and provides several special services only
to teachers.
Teacher Book Bags
Book bags consist of books gathered together for a
teacher and put in a circulating book bag . Book bags are available
upon request to preschool, school-age, or community service teachers.
The actual book bag is subject to demand and may not always be available.
Requests may be made in person, by telephone or by e-mail at NBKYouth@northbrook.info
and should include the following information:

three days notice. Book bags are reshelved three days after
the pick-up date if the teacher does not call or pick up the
books.)

Booktalks and School
Visits
For Northbrook schools, a librarian will come to the
classroom/school library to promote reading, new materials, and/or
library programs. Storytelling visits are made to preschool classrooms.
We will also make appearances at school staff meetings to describe
our services to teachers in detail and answer any questions. Booktalks
and school visits are coordinated by the Youth Services Department
and are by appointment only.
Class Visits to the
Library
Preschool or school classes may visit the library
by making an appointment with the Youth Services Department. Stories,
bibliographic instruction, and/or tours may also be available.
