Resources for Education
The Madison County Public Libraries recognize that this school year is going to be just as different as last year's was. The library is here to help. The library has virtual enrichment activities for kids to participate in as part of an online class, after school, or as an element of their homeschool education.
In addition, the library is prepared to help gather books to support your educational content or to supplement instruction in special areas.

ecoExplore is an incentive-driven science enrichment program that engages Kindergarten through 8th grade students in guided and self-directed citizen science activities. Each season, one particular area of field ecology (botany, herpetology, entomology and ornithology) is highlighted with public programming, self-guided activities, a public event, and special invitation-only programs. Students engage as active participants of the scientific method as they record observations of organisms found in their neighborhoods, libraries, and at the WNC Arboretum.
