For Teachers

Teacher Cards

In addition to a personal library card, a Teacher Card is available for professional needs and should be used for educational purposes only. Teacher Cards are available to those working in adult education, K-12 public/private schools, preschools, childcare centers and organizations working with individuals with disabilities.

Teacher Cards are not restricted to Campbell County teachers or residents. Just bring in current proof of employment or verification of homeschool participation to receive your card.

Request Books

With a little notice, we can pull items to help with projects you assign. We can work with you to pull books and audio materials for you to check out and use in your classroom.

We can also pull books for your students to use at the library. This way you can guarantee that all of your students will be able to find helpful materials.
