Trying to give your kids, teens, or students more information about how they can use the library to research and find what they need? You might be looking for a special library presentation, either at your school or at the library!

In the past, we have offered:

• Library tours
• Summer Reading presentations
• Special storytimes
• Presentations on how to use our research databases
• A space for students to read and/or do research

Scheduling a visit in advance ensures that your students will have the best possible experience! If you are interested in having your class make a special visit to the library or having a staff member visit your class or school, please contact Dena Chaffin, Youth Services Librarian, at dena.chaffin@ccrls.org.
