Bucket of Books (grades K-12):: http://www.multcolib.org/schoolcorps/bucket.html

These tubs contain 24-30 books on a topic plus a teacher's guide with an annotated list of age-appropriate Web sites, a pathfinder for doing research on the topic at Multnomah County Library, and instructions on how to obtain additional copies of the books.
Customized booklist (grades K-12):: If we don't have a Bucket of Books on your topic, check our booklist Web site, which has copies of our most popular booklists and instructions on how to create your own Bucket of Books using the lists.
Customized book collection (grades K-12):: If we don't have a Bucket of Books or booklist on your topic, we can create a customized book collection on a subject for your audience and send one copy of each book on the list to a nearby library for you to check out. Requires a three-week lead time. To request a customized booklist, visit the School Corps Assignment Alert site.
Customized webliography (grades K-12):: Let us create an annotated list of websites on a subject for your audience. Check the Homework Center to see if the library has already collected and annotated websites on your topic. To request a webliography, visit the School Corps Assignment Alert site.
