Lending Library
The Office of Health and Physical Education maintains an equipment lending library. Both large and small equipment is available from this library. Interested teachers may request a library inventory list, contact an adapted physical education consultant, and/or arrange to visit the library to view the inventory. At times, the APE consultant will recommend and/or bring adapted equipment to a school. The equipment in the library is available for use by all students who have specialized needs and is rotated from school to school on an as needed basis.
