Teachers If your students are working on special assignments, you may call the Children's Library and we can hold materials for your class.
Also, class visits to the library help kids understand the resources available to them. Class visits are scheduled in advance and last approximately an hour. Due to space availability and in order to serve you better, only one classroom may visit at a time.
