Library visits

Come to the library

Menlo Park Library and Belle Haven Library are happy to schedule private library visits outside of our regular business hours for school groups, homeschool groups, and other children’s groups.

During a class visit, our staff can provide a variety of activities to teach students of all ages about the library and the resources we provide. Activities may include:

• Private Storytime performed by a library staff member
• A tour of the library
• Learn about our book return machine
• Learn how to find books by completing a library scavenger hunt
• Learn about resources available at our libraries
• Learn more about the Dewey Decimal System
• Learn more about upcoming library hosted events and programs

Bring the library to you

For those who are unable to visit the library, we are happy to schedule a time where a library staff member can visit your classroom, school, or special event. Activities may include:

• Private Storytime performed by a library staff member
• Information on how to get a library card
• Information about resources available at our libraries
• Information about upcoming library hosted events and programs
• A library station or table at your event manned by a library staff member

Library visits are not just for kids! We are happy to attend events hosted by other organizations, visit local high schools, community colleges and job centers, and attend local community events.
