Services
for Teachers
Maintaining a close working
relationship with the schools and teachers of our community is a very
important aspect of children's services in our library. We host class visits,
provide walking tours
of Morristown to school groups and
work directly with teachers to ensure curriculum coordination.
Class visits are usually for early elementary grades and they introduce children
to the library and
make sure that each student has a library card. The walking tours are for
middle elementary grades
and they are conducted when Morristown is studied in the classroom. The buildings
around the library
are featured and their historical significance is discussed. We are also very
happy to consult with
teachers when they are planning assignments that will require the use of library
materials. This will
enable us to provide students with the material they need to complete homework
and research
assignments. Please call Arlene Sprague, Head of the Children's Department,
to discuss your
curriculum needs. (973) 538-6161
