MATERIALS
We also have a dedicated collection of materials for homeschool families. This collection is comprised of DVDs, kits, and books. Due to budgetary restrictions we have only a few curriculums.
KITS
Did you know that we have several types of Homeschool kits available for check-out? Below is a chart of the most popular kits. The * means that the kits are on a first come, first serve, basis meaning-no holds may be placed. The homeschool kits are housed in a back room. Call us if you want us to set one aside for you. This can only be done for same day pick-ups. The Homeschool kits also need to be checked out & returned at the Chippewa Library.
We also have resource kits which can be checked out by anyone in the MORE system. The majority of the Resource Kits are housed in the purple file drawer in the children's dept. Some items are across from the cabinet on the shelves below the Homeschool collection. These kits may be checked out, or returned to any library in the MORE system. Holds may be placed on these kits. Ask a librarian for more information.Call 715-723-1146.
