Yes! Our educator account allows teachers to borrow materials for classroom use or curriculum support. The educator card is an option if the limits on the educator's personal library card aren't sufficient for their classroom needs.
Who can get an educator account?
- Teachers at a daycare or a public or private K-12 school within the FVRL district
- Home school educators within the FVRL district
How much does it cost?
There is no charge for the educator account.
How do I sign up?
Contact us, or apply at any staffed FVRL library. Bring current photo ID and proof that you are an educator.
What kind of proof do you need?
- Proof of employment (such as a staff ID) from a daycare or a K-12 public or private school or
- A Declaration of Intent as a home school provider. (Homeschool parents of children younger than eight don't need a Declaration of Intent—you can just tell us you're homeschooling.)
What can I do with an educator account?
- Borrow up to 100 physical items at a time, with an extended loan period of six weeks
- Place up to 100 physical items on hold at a time
- Access FVRL's subscriptions to eBooks, digital magazines and newspapers, music and videos via FVRL's website. (Experience Passes and interlibrary loan are not included.)
