Classroom Sets/Media Kits

(last updated 04/15/2024)

Media kits are what we call classroom sets of books that can be borrowed free of charge to any library patron! We are constantly adding new titles to our Media Kit collection. If there is a title that we don’t have, please let us know and we will do our best to fill your request (though it would likely take a month or two). We love to help Marion County Schools!

Note: To put a media kit on hold, contact us! Media Kits  can be sent to any branch for pickup.
