Howard County Library System (HCLS) provides Howard County Public School System (HCPSS) educators with a myriad of resources as they plan lessons and assignments. The A+ Educator library card gives school educators special borrowing privileges for materials. HCLS instructors can present A+ curriculum classes to supplement elementary, middle, high school, and post-secondary curricula. HCLS instructors work in tandem with school media specialists to teach classes such as Multicultural Medley for elementary schools, Reliable Research for middle schools, and high schools. HCLS instructors can also recommend appropriate grade level books on specific topics or, for beginning readers, bring stories that improve reading and expand knowledge of literature. Additionally, HCLS instructors can teach how to use HCLS’ specialized online research tools, including Online Homework Assistance.
We appreciate when K-12 teachers alert us about upcoming assignments so HCLS staff can be prepared for student questions. Forms should be faxed to the affiliated partner HCLS branch at least two weeks in advance; HCLS instructors will call to discuss requests. We can visit you, or you can visit us!
