We’re Here to Help!

We can visit your classroom to share books and resources, help register families for library cards at special events, coordinate professional development opportunities, provide materials to supplement curriculum, and more!

To request a visit or get more information, contact Elementary School Services Outreach Coordinator, Ms. Megan, at schooloutreach@mppl.org or fill out our visit request form.

Field Trips

Due to the library renovation, field trips will not be offered this fall. However, they will return beginning in January 2025 with some exciting changes to see in our new space.

Early Reader Backpacks

The library has ready made Early Reader Backpacks that include a selection of books on the same reading level and a literacy activity to further develop early literacy skills. We also have Spanish/English bilingual bags! If you need even more books on a level for your students, we can do that, too.

We would love to showcase your students’ artwork on the the library’s bulletin board. To schedule your display, contact us at schooloutreach@mppl.org

We have a lot of great resources for you and your students, including access to Scholastic Teachables, Encyclopedia Britannica, iVox interactive pop up stories, and more!
