PANDA’s Lending Library

Wendy Sweeney, MA Licensed Psychologist, PANDA Manger Moira Knutson, PANDA Administrator

PANDA has a lending library of materials, adaptive equipment, and assistive technology on hand which are available to Minnesota ABE teachers and volunteers to access for use with their students.

We have a variety of materials available for reading, writing, math, vision loss, hearing loss, and mobility challenges.  If you have a student with a specific need that is not listed in our lending library, we’d be happy to work with you to find what it is that your student needs.
