Teachers

Bring your classroom in for a tour and a program, or invite us to your classroom and we will bring it to you. Our programs include Booktalks, Ozobots, Bee-bots, as well as STEAM Fair programs.

Request a visit.

Request Library books for your Pre-k through Grade 8 classroom using our Teacher Materials Request service. Request up to 35 fiction and nonfiction books to use for three weeks. We ask for seven days to process requests.

Palatine Library cards are available to any teacher who works within the Library District. These cards provide full access to the Library's resources and collections, but must be renewed every year. To apply, visit any Library location.

Palatine cardholders can check out STEAM Kits exploring a variety of science, technology, engineering, and math topics. Kits include hands-on activities, learning games, or scientific equipment. STEAM Kits target K-6 grade and can be checked out for one week.

View and reserve STEAM Kits.

We offer resources for preschools and child day care centers.
