Teacher Bins
Available Tween Teacher Bins!
Books Bins are a small collection of nonfiction/fiction titles connected to a specific theme/topic that could be kept in a 4th-8th grade classroom for a month-long check out period in an effort to help support teachers throughout the school year.
Below you will find some examples of available bins featuring 15-20 titles, However we can tailor bins specifically for your classroom needs on any subject.. Individual titles may be subject to availability and can be tailored to a classroom’s specific needs. You may even find something brand new thrown in at the last minute! Bins can be checked out for a 1 month loan period and Tween Librarian, Marisa Hall, will be handling Bin Drop Off & Pick Up from school buildings.
Want to Request a Bin? Questions? Reach out to Tween Librarian Marisa Hall through email (mhall@sawyerfreelibrary.org) or by phone at (978) 325-5549
