Delivery System The PEP Resource Library is located at the Grant Wood Area Education Agency in Cedar Rapids. Books, audio tapes, videos, handouts, and brochures on a variety of topics can be used by all parents, educators, and any interested persons.
These materials can be obtained by calling the library or stopping at the agency. Van delivery through the schools can be utilized to receive and return checked out items. Parents may use the van delivery system. Materials may be sent to your child's classroom and sent home with your child. To return materials, place the items in the envelope you received them in, cross out your name and put the following on the outside of the envelope: To: PEP LIBRARY
Send the envelope to school with your child and have the classroom teacher return it on the GWAEA van. If you have any questions about this procedure, please call the PEP Office, we'd love to answer any questions you might have.
