Springville Public Library
Back to School With Books
Springville Public Library Has Educational Resources to Make Back to School a Breeze
The Springville Public Library used an LSTA grant award to build a learning library for students in our service area. Our collection includes pre-loaded learning tablets, interactive learning kits, scientific equipment, Playaway audio books, themed book kits that teach specific concepts, educational games, and a wide selection of early readers. This summer the library combined state and local funding to expand our collection of early readers so that we can offer leveled reader bags for K-2nd grade readers. Springville Public Library also offers a Homeschool Collection that is designed to help busy homeschool moms with lesson planning.

Hands on Learning Materials
In 2019, Springville Public Library received a $20,000.00 LSTA Grant to create a Math and Science "hands-on learning" collection. Our library offers learning kits, book sets, and flash cards available for long term check out.
Themed Book Kits for 4K- 6th Grade
These learning kits are organized by subject and grade range and cover a variety of Science, Social Studies, Health, and History learning objectives.
Early Readers Kits for K-3rd Grade
These engaging leveled readers feature your children's favorite characters and make teaching and reinforcing reading skills fun.
Pre-K Learning Back Packs
These themed backpacks are perfect for teaching your preschooler to learn to love books while introducing early learning concepts.
Playaway Audio Books
Educational studies show that 85% of what we learn we learn by listening and that combining print and audio increases recall 40% over print alone. Explore our Playaway audio collection and listen and learn.
