Dear
Educators:
The Somerset Public Library
serves the entire Somerset community, including the student
population of our schools. It is our endeavor to supplement and
enhance the collections of the public school libraries. Through
increased cooperation among all Somerset libraries, school and
public, we strive to better our collections and resources for
optimal information management and sharing. We welcome your
comments and suggestions and look forward to your continued use
and support.
We encourage teachers and staff
to contact us regarding assignments, programs, research, or any
library matter that will help you with your classroom or with your
student activities or preparation.
Sincerely,
The
staff of the Somerset Public Library.

What you can
do for us
If you email or
call us prior to a class assignment, we can put materials (books
and articles) on reserve for your students. This will give equal
access to all students to comprehensive materials and research.
As a library patron you have access to over forty libraries and
one million items in the SAILS network. In addition, we have
statewide access to materials. Assignment Alert forms are
available to help with this process.
Encourage your students to use their Public Library.
