Extension Services for Schools
Get books delivered directly to your school!
School media specialists in Carroll, Douglas, Haralson, Heard and Paulding counties can get books delivered directly to their school to meet assignment needs through Extension Services.
How it works
To get started, contact Extension Services to set up an institutional account for the school.
Once an account is setup, the media specialist can request items several ways:
- Call or email Extension Services and place your request directly
- Request items online through your institutional PINES account
Requesting items
You can request specific items (“I need 5 copies of Cat in the Hat”) or be more general (“I need 3 different non-fiction books about cats”). Please make sure to include the following information with all requests:
- School Name
- Media Specialist or Clerk Name
- Format Needed (book, AV, eBook, article)

Delivery and Pick-up
Once items arrive at the WGRLS Regional Office, Extension Services staff check out materials to your institutional account and a courier delivers them to your school.
When done, just call or email, and our courier will pickup the items.
Special Check-Out Periods
Institutional accounts receive longer loan periods than personal accounts and do not accrue any fines.
