TEACHER CARDS

Posted November 20th, 2008 by Director

Library teacher cards have come to the Westfield Library. Many public libraries have offered this service for years. Now, Westfield area teachers, homeschool families, daycare teachers, and other daycare providers can benefit from this service. Eligible teachers or education providers may apply for a teacher card that is separate from their personal library card. In this way, teachers can keep work and personal items separately organized. Items checked out to the teacher card need to be related to educational or classroom use. Teacher cards will not accrue fines. This way, if a lesson is not yet finished, and a teacher needs a book collection for a few more days, he will not be required to pay for the extended time needed. However, the policy will not cover extremely overdue items on a regular basis. Lost and damaged items will still be billed. Click HERE to read the complete policy.
