Teacher Connect

A teacher's guide to library resources.

The School Partnership Program promotes academic success by engaging with educators, supporting learning objectives and providing students access to valuable educational resources. In partnership with Orange County Public Schools, each K-12 school has its own library staff liaison who can help connect educators and students to library services. They can answer questions about the library, attend school events, present virtual workshops and more. To connect with your school's Library Liaison, call 407.835.7323. 

Library Liaisons

Library Liaisons are the best point of contact for schools to connect with OCLS. They directly share library announcements with educators to keep them informed of upcoming events and programs. Liaisons support schools in a variety of ways.

  • They attend school events like Literacy Night and Teach-In.
  • They connect schools to learning opportunities like field trips.
  • They can coordinate a library card sign-up drive for their school.
  • They can host informative library workshops and presentations. 

OCPS & OCLS Work Together

Library Card Sign-up

Encourage your students to get a full-access library card! Signing up online is easy! Every school has its own referral link specifically for its students to use. Find your school’s unique referral link.
