This form is for use by teachers and educators who wish library staff to select a set of library materials on a single, general topic or theme for classroom use. Requests for specific items should be submitted by placing a hold through your library account.
Important information about Topic Requests
- This is a free library service
- We require a minimum 2 days' notice to process a topic request.
- We will retrieve up to 30 items per search. Please understand that we may not be able to supply 30 items for all topics.
- Requests cannot be placed more than three months in advance of the requested pickup date.
- We will begin pulling materials for a search no more than 2 days before the requested pickup date.
- Requests may be picked up at the main desk of either branch of the library.
- Items that have not been picked up within 2 days of the requested pickup date will be reshelved.
- You will need a PGPL library account to take materials out of the library. If you do not have a library card, or are uncertain about your account status, please bring one piece of ID and proof of address when you come to pick up your materials.
- Early requests for seasonally in-demand materials do not guarantee availability of those materials.
