Class Visits to the Library

We welcome visits by classes of students from Junior High through College. To make your visit pleasant and productive, the Library staff have developed the following procedures.

The Library's hours are changing on December 1 and we will be open three mornings during the school week. For more information, please see the New Hours webpage and the official press release.

Setting Up a Visit

1. Check Library hours (left sidebar) to plan your visit.

2. Let us know when you are coming so we can be ready for your students. Email us using our Class Visit Form or call us (651-259-3300) at least 2 weekdays before you plan to bring in your class.

3. Request Materials before your class arrives. Search the Library Catalog to identify books, manuscripts or archival material you would like to see. Fill out call slips and fax them to 651-297-7436.

4. Remember, our collections have a Minnesota Focus. Students researching topics not involving Minnesota or its citizens may want to try a different source.
