About Our Lending Library

School district personnel and families have access to quality early childhood materials and program resources through our lending library. Materials are available for check out, preview, comparison and utilization by all early childhood programs.

The Berea RTC Library houses several thousand items including books, curriculum, evaluation kits and materials, classroom resources, children’s books, puppets and now, an extensive collection of Assistive Technology resources.

As of January 2019, all users will be required to fill out a Library User Form. Materials may be checked out for a two week period. Resources that are not returned may result in the suspension of use of RTC resources for your entire district, agency, or campus.
