Parents and Educators

Looking for a quality website for your child, teen, or students? Look no further!

• Great Websites for Kids: The Association for Library Service to Children put together this great collection of websites, sorted by category (animals, arts, sciences, etc.). 
• Read Write Think: Classroom resources for K-12 reading and language arts.
• Reading Rockets: Learn how you can help your kids and students become strong, confident readers.
• Reading is Fundamental: Provides a variety of literacy resources.
• Silverton Together: Located across the street from the library and works to strengthen and support families.

Trying to give your kids, teens, or students more information about how they can use the library to research and find what they need? You might be looking for a special library presentation, either at your school or at the library!

In the past, we have offered:

• Library tours
• Summer Reading presentations
• Special storytimes
• Presentations on how to use our research databases
• A space for students to read and/or do research

Scheduling a visit in advance ensures that your students will have the best possible experience! If you are interested in having your class make a special visit to the library or having a staff member visit your class or school, please contact Dena Chaffin, Youth Services Librarian, at dena.chaffin@ccrls.org.
