Contracting districts and schools have access to the following as part of their annual contract. Assistance for Portal Only or non-contracting campuses is available at an hourly rate.
- Library Multimedia Network (LMN)
LMN provides professional development (PD) for school library staff, dedicated to advancing vibrant school library services and staying informed about current trends. All school library personnel in Tulare and Kings counties are encouraged to attend. LMN is free for ERS Library contracting districts and sites, while non-contracting districts are charged $25 per session. For more information,
visit the LMN page.
- On-site Library Consultation
A 60-90 minute consultation with district or site administration and library staff helps assess current library services and programs, address specific needs and goals, and develop a plan to enhance the school library's impact on student learning, literacy, and sense of belonging. Discussion topics may include library collections, circulation, accessibility, layout, onboarding new library staff, or other site-driven topics/needs.
- Library Collection Weeding Assistance
The ERS Library team offers consultation on weeding outdated and damaged materials from school library collections. Contact the ERS Library staff with details about your library (collection size, average age, etc.) and availability. We'll schedule a visit to guide your library staff through the weeding process, discuss criteria, and establish proactive maintenance practices.
