News from Nancy Doering, Youth Services Librarian
Welcome to the School Services page of Wolfner Library’s web site. This page is for teachers, counselors, special services directors, school librarians and media specialists, principals and other educators who work with students in Missouri schools—public, private, and parochial. We want to provide you with basic information about Wolfner Library services. We also want to make it easier for you to register your school, reactivate Wolfner Library services, or register an individual student.
Why would my school need Wolfner Library services? Almost every school has students who are eligible for this free library service. Wolfner Library serves persons who are blind and visually impaired. Did you know we also serve persons who cannot use standard print materials due to a physical disability or a reading disability? To find out more about who can use this service, click on this link:
