Go Back to School with the Library! As you head back to school this fall, don't forget about all the great resources available at the Baraboo Public Library! - Left your book at school? Don't panic! We have most elementary and secondary textbooks used in the Baraboo School District. They can't be checked out so they'll always be available at the Library for those homework emergencies. - We've got the books, magazines, and online resources you need for every kind of assignment from book reports to science projects. Just ask a librarian and we'll be happy to help you navigate. - Educators! Looking for new materials for those old lessons? Our staff will gladly recommend great new fiction and nonfiction titles in any area you might need. Check out our teacher resource brochure for more information on how we can help. - We understand that not everyone likes to read, but those book reports will just keep coming! Ask us for help on finding something to satisfy even the most reluctant readers! And, of course, there's nothing better than you're very own library card! Make sure your kids are able to access everything they need for school, plus books, music, and movies to keep them busy on the weekends! There are no age restrictions, so get a library card today! |
