 Professional Literacy Library

The Eastern Suffolk BOCES Professional Literacy Library is a library of books and journals on the topic of literacy P-12 offering print  information and resources to school and district staff interested in learning more about evidence-based reading instruction. 

 

The catalog of library resources can be accessed at http://rfrc.scoolaid.net/bin/home. If you wish to borrow materials from the library, you are required to pay all shipping costs; Eastern  Suffolk BOCES will include a return mailing label with your shipment.

 

Initial funding for the Eastern Suffolk BOCES Professional Literacy Library was provided by the New York State Education Department and the Long Island Regional School Support Center through federal Reading First and Title VI-B funds. Continued support for this collection is provided through federal Early Reading First funds and the New York State Education Department.
