Teacher Card Eligibility & Use

Teacher Cards are available to teachers certified by the Summit County Board of Education, Preschool or Daycare teachers, and Home School teachers. Teachers must live or work in Summit County.

Teacher Cards are intended only to check out teaching or classroom materials. A traditional card is needed to check out personal items and to borrow from other libraries using OhioLINK or SearchOhio.

Teacher Loan Periods:

Check out for four (4) weeks with one renewal. Holiday materials do not check out on a teacher loan.
Most Children’s audiovisual materials may also be checked out in Teacher Loans, including six (6) music CDs, children’s magazines, and children’s nonfiction videos.
A maximum of 50 items can be checked out on a Teacher Loan at one time. It may be a combination of item types.
Materials that have been obtained through SearchOhio or OhioLINK can only be checked out on a personal card and not on a teacher card.

Book Boxes for Classroom Use
Book Boxes are a great way to supplement your classroom. A Book Box contains 30 copies of the same title, and many also include the book on CD for classroom listening. Click here for a list of titles.

Book Boxes may be reserved in advance for the following school year beginning August 1.
Book Boxes circulate for four weeks and must be put on a Teacher Card.
Teachers are limited to checking out two boxes at a time.
A Book Box can be renewed if it is not otherwise reserved by another teacher.
Please call the Children’s Room to put a Book Box on reserve.
Because of storage issues regarding Book Boxes, teachers must give at least 24 hours of advanced notice before a Book Box can be picked up.
If a Book Box is not picked up within three days, it will be returned to the collection. Teachers should make every effort to return the Book Box intact with all copies present. If this is not possible teachers should return missing copies to the Cuyahoga Falls Library as soon as possible. Teachers will not be charged for copies that are turned in late.
Each title in a Book Box is numbered on the cover. The number on the cover is to assist the Teacher in knowing which student has each book. Teachers should match numbers to students and keep a master list when the books are distributed to students.

Make your students’ visit to the library more fruitful and productive. Call the Children’s Department in advance to notify us of upcoming assignments or research projects. Staff will be happy to place selected materials on “class reserve,” ensuring all students who visit the library an opportunity to use them. Also, teachers are encouraged to call the library and inquire regarding the availability of materials about a subject before assigning reports or research projects.
