Finding Education Kits

TRU Library has a handful of kits for classrooms. You can either browse these in the library curriculum collection section on the 3rd floor of the House of Learning, or limit your Discover search like below to see what we have.

Did you know TRU has a Makerspace with technology that you can check out? Visit the TRU Library Makerspace website for more information.


To find kits in Discover, start with a broad search (such as just 'science' or 'math').

Then, use the "Source type" limiter under the search box to limit to "non-print resources", then click apply. You will need to select 'show more' first. Now, you will see only "non-print resources" which include these kits.
