Back-to-School Resources at Plymouth District Library
As the new school year approaches, we are here to support students, teachers, and families with a wide range of resources, activities, and tools to ensure a successful academic year.
Comprehensive Book Collection With over 212,000 physical titles in circulation, our library offers an extensive collection of books to support every subject and interest. Whether you’re looking for learning guides, novels, or research materials, our shelves are stocked to meet your needs.
Robust Online Resources Our digital library extends beyond the physical collection, providing access to e-books, e-audiobooks, movies, shows, music, and research tools. These resources are available anytime, anywhere, making it easier for students to learn and explore on the go. One that you should try this school year is Learning Express, part of MEL (Michigan eLibrary) available via our website.
Tutoring Services During the school year, we offer free tutoring through the National Honor Society (NHS), providing students with the academic support they need to excel in their studies.
Early Literacy Support For our younger patrons, we host storytimes and book clubs, to foster a love for reading from an early age.
Exploration and Learning Beyond the Classroom Our library is a hub for exploration and creativity. We offer educational and fun programs for all ages, including technology and creativity tools in our lab, STEAM exploration kits, and board games. These resources provide hands-on learning experiences that go beyond the classroom.
