The Youth Services staff are dedicated to supporting teachers, students and homeschool families with outreach programming and supplemental materials for curriculum.
Staff are available to visit your classroom or school library to provide additional library-related instruction. Learn more about our services below or contact us for more information at 630-879-1300 x 500. You can also email Youth Services at youthservices@bataviapubliclibrary.org.
Class Collections
We can pull together a variety of resources for your classroom. Ask your school librarian for more details on how to place these requests. Items can be sent by the BPS101 van on Mondays, Wednesdays or Fridays.
School Visits
We can create a custom visit for your school, class or homeschool group. Get help finding resources for a research project, take a tour of our spaces, or enjoy a special storytime and/or time to play afterward.
Not able to visit us in person? Let us know what you need and staff can visit your classroom to provide book talks, storytimes, database demonstrations and much more. Also welcome invitations to visit your school for literacy night, STEM programming or other special events.
Scout Visits
Is your scout troop or pack working on a requirement or merit badge? The library may be able to help! Library staff are available to assist scouts with research, a tour of the Library or other activities that may help fill a scouting requirement. Reach out to our School Services Librarian, Aimee Marx by email or call 630-879-1393 x 545 for more details.
