Lending Libraries

Are you looking for that something extra that will bring a distant land to life in your classroom? We can help you brighten up your classes with colorful clothing students can try on, traditional instruments and games students can play, and films showing what daily life is really like in other countries.

Hemispheres’s component centers maintains a library of curriculum and instructional resources that were purchased with the educator in mind. Our libraries contain curriculum guides, non-fiction books, literature in translation and folktales, videos and DVDs, and artifact trunks and clothing. 

Our lending libraries are available to educators nationwide. There is no charge to borrow items. Catalogues of our lending libraries can be accessed through the links below, or we can put together a custom package of materials for you. Contact the appropriate Outreach Coordinator for the region you are interested in for suggestions of appropriate materials.
