Assignment Alert Form
Teachers, help us help your students! Tell us what assignments your students will be researching at the library. We will work to have the required materials available when they are needed. Please fill out the Assignment Alert Form and send it back to us by any of the following ways:
Class Visits
Whether you'd like to visit the library or have a librarian visit you, contact us to schedule a class visit!
We offer:
Lexile Searching
Do you use Lexiles in your classroom? Check out WPL's Guide to Lexile-based Searches attached below! Feel free to distribute the guide to your students and their parents and guardians.
The library offers a great selection of online research databases for you and your students to use. Most of the databases require a 14 digit WPL library card number (21567000...).
Check out our PDF Guide to Online Reasearch Databases for Students. Feel free to download and print guides for your classes!
Would you like a WPL librarian to visit your media center or classroom to give a "tour" of the library's online research databases? Contact us to discuss a possible class visit.
Illinois' Reader's Choice Book Awards
Do you use the Illinois book awards like the Monarch, Bluestem, Caudill, Abraham Lincoln? WPL owns multiple copies of these titles. Take a look at our Guides to these awards listed at the bottom of our Book Suggestions and Readers Resources page. Each title has a call number listed to that students and their families know exactly where to find them in the library. Feel free to print these guides and use them in your classrooms, or send students here to pick up any of the titles.
