They are able to give a tour, show examples from our collection, and help find/design assignments using maps and geography. The assignments were tailored to specific age ranges.


There is no charge to enter the building, use the collection, or for our time. Our library is open to the public. Please contact me to make arrangements. We would prefer to limit the student group size to around 10 plus adults. We would also prefer that the age span of the children not exceed 3 to 4 years. This makes it easier to customize our presentation.
