The Durham Soil and Water Conservation District would like to thank Target for a generous grant donation in the amount of $1,500. This money has been put to good use in the purchase of Environmental Education books for children ages 2-9 years old. As a result the Durham Soil and Water Conservation District is pleased to announce the opening of our Environmental Education Learrning Library.
The Learning Library’s purpose is to provide the best environmental education materials to adults (teachers, naturalists, interpreters, children’s librarians, scout leaders, camp counselors, recreation leaders, daycare personnel, curriculum specialists, etc.) who work with children and aspire to share the joy of nature and the environment with them.
The library contains fiction and non-fiction books, videos & magazines about environmental and natural resources. All Learning Library materials are available FREE-of charge for a 2 week loan period to qualified participants only. To borrow from the library you must first fill an application (this only has to be filled out the first time you check out books or if any of your information changes.) After the application is filled out and approved, all you will need to do is fill out a request sheet and email it to lmarochak@co.durham.nc.us, fax it to 919-560-0563 or call 919-560-0558. The application, request sheet and book list can be found below;
