Teachers and students are important members of the community served by the Batavia Public Library District. While we are not a substitute for the school library, we can be an additional source of information and assistance. To help us serve you more efficiently, we have compiled a few tips for teachers.
Click HERE to download our Tips for Teachers brochure.
Classes within the Batavia Library District are welcome to visit the Library for a tour or short program, or to arrange for a librarian to visit them. Call the Youth Services Department at 879-1393 ext. 500 to schedule a visit. Requests to visit at least one month in advanced are preferred.
The Library subscribes to a number of online databases that may be helpful for your students. These range from language learning activities to in-depth material on ancient civilizations and more. All of these fully vetted resources can be accessed from within the Library. Use your Batavia Public Library Card for off-site access.
Fill out the form and submit the information prior to giving your students an assignment so that the Library staff will be better prepared to assist your students. Please attach a copy of the written assignment sheet, if possible.
Create an Assignment Alert.
