Our 2024-2025 field trip sign up is live! All of our remaining dates are in 2025. You can visit our calendar to find the date you would like, and book through Calendly.

In addition to the Book Order and Field Trip programs, New Haven Reads offers several resources and perks available to teachers only, including extended visiting hours, classroom sets, bi-annual Teacher Open Houses, educational reference materials, and a Teachers email list.

Extended Visiting Hours

Although the back room of the Book Bank closes to the general public in the early afternoon, teachers are allowed to search for books in the back during our tutoring hours up until close. This gives teachers access to a greater selection of books. Additionally, teachers may choose to skip the normal check out process and instead sign their books out using the Teacher Binder, available at our Front Desk.

Annual Teacher Open House

At the beginning of the school year, New Haven Reads closes to the general public and hosts an Open House for teachers only. During this time, we put out overflow books and extra supplies, expedite your check out process, and have extra volunteers on hand to help carry books out to cars. It’s also an excellent time to connect with the Book Bank staff and ask about other programs!

Educational Reference Materials

The Book Bank has an entire Education section tucked into the back room, which includes resources on topics ranging from classroom discipline to fall activities templates and how to build a syllabus. Right next to it, the Textbooks/Workbook section often has blank workbooks for various grade levels.
