How to Use It
Benefits for Teachers & Libraries

This valuable new resource for teachers and libraries is possible through the generous support of our underwriting partners.

The Consortium Library
Under a new five-year agreement, VPT can now offer Vermont teachers and libraries access to broadcast and duplication of over 80 high-quality instructional series (nearly 1,000 individual titles), as well as school rights for the duration of the lease.

The programs that constitute the basic library of the Consortium have been proven through usage in classrooms around the country. Many have won awards or are critically acclaimed as being both effective curriculum and entertaining instructional material.
