Assignment Alert

The Inglewood Public Library appreciates advance notice of homework assignments. This allows the staff time to become acquainted with the requirements of the assignment, to gather together materials that will be held at the desk for library use only, and hopefully, to meet the needs of all of your pupils, not just the first two or three. Students will be required to leave their library card or school I.D. at the desk to use this special material. We have black & white photocopy machines available, however, please note that the requirement of pictures in reports leads to vandalized materials.
