Class Visits and Tours

Sign up now for virtual and in person class visits, a Library-To-Go Book Box, or a Library Tour!

Hope your summer was splendid and your school year is off to a great start. I hope you can find time to fit a visit or two from me into your schedule, either virtually or in  person, and maybe even take a field trip to the library with your class. Currently, Virtual Visits from the Library are set for Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I'll make the rounds to all Alameda elementary schools in person on Tuesdays and Thursdays. If all goes well, I'll be able to add more In Person class visits in the near future. Fingers crossed! 

-Grades K-8 Click here to schedule Virtual Class Visits on Zoom from the Alameda Free Library (limit one visit per classroom per month): https://calendly.com/alameda-free-library-virtual-visits

-Grades K-5 Click here to schedule In Person Class Visits at your school, a Library-To-Go Book Box, or an in person Main Library tour: https://calendly.com/alamedafree4schools

-To schedule an In Person visit, please find the event for your school and scroll through the calendar to find available dates listed in blue. Please confirm with your school administrators that I am allowed to visit your campus in person before I visit. I will provide proof of up-to-date Covid vaccination status upon check-in, wear a mask or face shield indoors, and bring a portable speaker for weather permitting outdoor visits.

-If you're interested in a class trip to the Bay Farm Island or West End Branch, please contact me to schedule. The librarians there are eager to invite individual classrooms in for a story or two and a quick tour! 

-I visit school community and PTA events, too! Please contact me if you'd like me to promote library services for families or pop by for a story time at any upcoming virtual or in person event. I'll do my best to work your event into my schedule.

Hope to see you SOON!
