Educational Kits
Educational Resource Kits are themed boxes that make learning fun! Boxes may contain books, DVDs, activity sheets, lesson plans, toys and other props designed to engage young children and encourage them to explore new things.
How do I…
One Educational Resource Kits may be checked out at a time, on an adult card for 3 weeks and renewed 2 times if not reserved by another patron. Educational kits can be found and requested through Kitkeeper.
This project is funded by the Friends of the Alamance County Public Libraries through book donations and the bi-annual book sale.
