Save time, get the right resources. CTO! delivers.
CTO! offers a wide range of material types for all grade levels (Preschool-12th):
Choose what you need on the CTO! form. Based on your lesson ideas, we may occasionally deliver additional material types.
Do you want a year's worth of pre-scheduled, curated deliveries? Sign up for CTO!
Would you prefer to browse and request materials on your own? Use the Follett Destiny Online Catalog to reserve ERS Library materials for delivery to your site.
Staffing changes mean we need you to sign up again, even if you participated before.
Tip: Save your confirmation email for easy re-registration.
Reminder Email: A week before your kit is due, look for an email titled "ERS Library -- Materials Due Next Week."
We'll confirm pickup, new due date, or highlight reserved items that need to come back. Be sure to return items to the delivery/pickup spot by 9am on your pickup/delivery date.
If you didn't previously request a pickup, please email library@ersconnect.org and let us know your kit is ready. Each contracting site has a weekly assigned day for delivery and pickup. The ERS Library team will stop by if:
When neither of these is true, the site will be bypassed to save on fuel and time-associated costs.
The receipt attached to your packing sheet should list all items in your new kit. While we check everything, mistakes can happen.
Missing something? Email library@ersconnect.org. We'll deliver the missing item to you the next week or remove it from your account.
Absolutely! Both educators and students are welcome to use our materials. A couple of quick tips:
Lost materials? We can extend checkout periods for lost items to help find them. In their annual agreements, all contracting School Districts accept responsibility for replacing irretrievably lost or destroyed materials. CTO! participants can request district invoicing, pay themselves, or provide a matching replacement.
Need to edit your CTO! selections?
Can't edit online? Email sara.torabi@tcoe.org with your changes.
Important: Changes must be made before the first business day of the month you want them applied to. Edits after that won't be reflected in your kit.
Follow the directions in the "My lesson plans changed..." question above to edit your kit preferences. Once your original responses are visible, you can switch each month's "Kit Type" selection between the 8-10 items, Class Library, or NO KIT options. Make sure to submit your changes when finished.

We try our best to fulfill your CTO! requests based on your chosen topics. Availability plays a role, so during peak times for seasonal materials, you might receive 1-2 items or digital resources on those topics or additional items from our general collection to complete your physical kit.
