For Schools and Community Organizations

Introduce a love of books and learning with a Library outreach visit! We provide many options for visits and field trips. A librarian can come to your school event, provide a storytime, talk about Summer Reading, and more. Bring students to the library and we can customize a tour tailored to your classroom needs/assignments. Tours can include storytimes, library scavenger hunts, book talks, free exploration time, database training, and more. Scheduling is based on staff availability. We ask that you put in your Outreach Request at least 2 weeks before your visit.
