Forestry and Natural Resources Lending Library

What is the Linn County Extension Lending Library?

In 2001, the Linn County Commissioners provided Linn County Extension with funding to begin compiling a lending library focusing on forestry and natural resources. The library contents focus on activities that involve youth grades K – 12.

The library is specifically targeted at 4-H leaders and elementary and high school teachers. Library listings are divided into 3 categories:

  • Lessons and Activities: Lessons and activities gathered from OSU Extension, the Forest Service, Fish and Wildlife, and many more.
  • Lesson Kits: Kits that contain prepared lesson materials, such as laminated cards, props, pictures, etc., for a specific lesson. Consumable materials, such as paper, pencils, etc., are not included.
  • Tools and Materials: tools and hardware for lessons to make it easy for the instructor to find all s/he needs to complete a lesson.

How to use the lending library:

  • Pick out the materials: Review the list of library materials on this website.

    Visit the library: Contact Melanie McCabe at OSU Extension (email: melanie.mccabe@oregonstate.edu) (541-967-3871 x2395) if you are interested in visiting the lending library to review books and materials.
  • Reserve materials: Call or email to reserve materials in advance of lessons. Materials may not be available if they are not reserved.

  • Due Date: Materials may be checked out for two weeks, unless other arrangements are made.
