Library Acquisitions
The acquisitions staff is responsible for ordering the materials that you have selected for your library, and managing the funds used to pay for these materials. We also keep you informed of any changes to, or cancellations and/or delays of, your orders and will let you know if you have any money left to spend. If you ever have any questions/concerns about your orders and/or funds, please contact the
Helpdesk.

- September 21, 2011 : DPS Book Fair - The Book Fair is our annual gathering of approved vendors, who will be showcasing their latest offerings for your perusal and purchase. It is a great way to meet your local vendor representatives, your colleagues in the district and some of us here at ETLS. The acquisitions staff will be on hand to let you know how much money you have available and to answer any questions you might have. You can turn your orders in to us that day, or submit them to us later.

Allocation Forms
Allocation forms are sent out to the librarians in early April to specify the budget allocation(s) for the following school year. The money used to purchase your selected material is portioned out in the form of Mill Levy funds, Boost Funds, and any additional funds your principal allocates for library materials.
|
The forms, signed by your principal even if no funds or additional funds are allocated, are due back to the ETLS department by May 4, 2012.
|
If you receive any additional funds during the school year you must submit a supplemental funds allocation form.
