Library Aide Basics Resources
All of the supplementals included in the LAB: Library Aide Basics Canvas course are available here, as well as a printable PDF version of the entire course. Each PDF is interactive in an online format and all of the links are live. All PDF materials are designed in color and with a margin, so that they can be printed double-sided and hole-punched for use in a binder. Please be environmentally conscious as you make copies of these documents as many of them are extensive. The posters are also in color and designed in three different dimension depending on your district’s printing capabilities. Only a few of the files are in editable formats and they are downloadable through Microsoft Office programs. All of the resources included on this page are registered under the same Creative Commons license as the Canvas course.
