Teacher Resources: Welcome

We love teachers!

Westwood Library provides a variety of services to support the curriculum needs of local teachers, homeschoolers, and their students in PreK – grade 12. The library is chock full of materials that support Common Core Standards, projects, classroom sustained silent reading, reading aloud, reading along, and listening.  The Children’s Room staff are able to help locate materials in-house and elsewhere in the Minuteman system. All it takes to get help is a quick phone call, email, or submission of the relevant forms below. 

If you are looking for information about a specific item or have questions about your request, please contact the Children’s Department at 781-320-1042 or email wwdchildrens@gmail.com. 

Please contact the Children’s Room at 781-320-1042, or email the Children’s Librarian at wwdchildrens@gmail.com, at least 2 weeks ahead of the proposed visit to read to children, talk about getting library cards, for classroom help using library resources, or other related services. 

Librarians are available to visit your class to:

• Be a Guest reader
• Teach students about online resources
• Book talk titles (either of our choosing or around a theme that you provide)
• Talk about Librarianship as a career
• Other requests – talk to us about what you’d like!

Westwood Schools and other institutions that wish to allow a person or individuals to borrow materials for school use, can apply for an Institution library card. If you would like to establish a card for your school, an application must be accompanied by a letter on the institution’s letterhead and signed by the appropriate authority granting the applicant(s) permission to check out materials in the institution’s name. Materials may be checked out for 6 weeks and should be for the institution only. The card is accepted only at Westwood Public Library. For more information, please contact Karen Gallagher at kgallagher@minlib.net or she can be reached at 781-320-1048.
