​Individuals wishing to arrange a school group visit should contact Karie Antell, Instruction Coordinator, at least two weeks in advance. Classes in grades 10-12 are accepted if they have a substantial library research assignment. We suggest that lower grades use their school or local public library where more age appropriate information is available.
