Guidelines for Field Trips

We’re excited to welcome your group to the library!

Please help us ensure that we have the room and resources to maintain a pleasant atmosphere for all of our patrons by limiting:

  • Visits to once a month
  • Visit time to an hour
  • Number of youth in your group to 30. Larger programs should plan to stagger visits to different days or times.

Before your visit:

  • Let us know you’re coming. We would appreciate a phone call at least one week before your visit.
  • Plan for all adult chaperones to be engaged during your visit. Adult participation is the key to a positive visit. We ask that you keep your students within sight, join in the activities and show the children that using the library is fun. Please plan to have one adult for every 10 youth.
  • Do you have a library card? A library trip is more meaningful when children can enjoy choosing and checking out materials. We would love to help you run a library card drive.
  • Request a tour. Want a library staff member to show your group around the library and share behind-the-scenes secrets? Schedule a tour. We need at least four weeks’ notice.

We look forward to seeing your group at the library soon.
