We look forward to working with you.
Here are some suggestions to make our collaboration successful:
 

• Get to know the librarians at the Ferguson Library and visit the library to familiarize yourself with its resources.

• Assign research on an author, rather than one particular book by that author.

• As you are developing assignments, consult one of our Youth Services Librarians to see what resources we have available.

• Advise students to write down assignments and bring their notes with them to the Library.

• Use book lists developed by the Library to make the widest variety available to your students.

• Allow your students to use encyclopedias. The Ferguson Library has many special and general encyclopedias. At times, they will be the only sources of information for an assignment.

• Encourage your students to use electronic resources at the library to research current topics.

• To preserve our resources, set a clear "no cut-out" policy and encourage students to draw their own maps and illustrations for reports.

• Please call 351-8242 with any questions.
