School Visits

Visits to the library are tailored to your needs. Jump-start a research project or genre study with guidance from our staff, take a tour of our spaces, or enjoy a storytime, puppet show, and time to play.

Or let library staff bring the resources of the library to you! We can provide book talks, storytimes, database demonstrations and much more. You can also request a visit from the bookmobile, schedule permitting. Library staff are also available for parent/teacher nights, literacy nights, STEM nights and other special events.
