For Parents and Teachers

Being a parent can be rough. Being a teacher can also be rough. The library supports you, and can provide some things that may be beneficial to your busy schedules.

  • Book and A/V Bundles:
    With a little bit of time and a topic of interest, we can put together a book bundle with various materials. Reach out to us with your needs and we can help!
  • Materials and resources for various milestones:
    Dealing with life events can be difficult, frustrating, confusing, and emotional for children and for you. Librarians can supply you with resources, information, and materials - both in our collection and online - to help guide you and your youth through various life changes and challenges.
  • Homeschool or Traditional Class Visits:
    Looking to introduce your students to the library? Call us to book a library storytime, tour, book talk, or research session. If you want to get your students library cards, let us know and we’ll send you the application form. Students can return the completed form to you, you can send it to us, and we’ll have your cards ready for you when you arrive for your visit!
  • At the library? There’s a whole section!
    The Children’s Room has an entire selection of materials set aside that is specifically categorized for use by Parents and Teachers.

Each winter season, we also co-host an annual Preschool Fair with the Waldorf School of Saratoga where over 20 local preschools usually attend to provide information on services offered.

Schedule a School or Class Visit!

Interested in visiting the library with your students, or having the library visit you? Depending on scheduling, we would love to meet you and your students! To best understand your needs and our availability, we ask that you complete our Request for a School Group Library Visit form. We will review your request and respond as soon as we are able!
