Class Visits
Thank you for your interest in scheduling a class visit to the library or a visit by library staff to your classroom (in person or virtual).
Please note the following requirements:
-
Class visit services are limited to schools, groups, etc. that are located within the Rochester Public Library service area.
-
A minimum of 10 students is required.
-
Each class or group may schedule up to three library hosted visits per school year.
-
Class visits are limited to one hour unless students are working on a research project or other activity.
-
Appropriate adult supervision must be provided by the school for the duration of the class visit. We recommend a minimum of one teacher/aide/parent helper for every 8 students.
-
Due to updates in library data privacy policies, if library card registrations are requested prior to a class visit, a Memorandum of Understanding between the school and RPL will need to be signed. Please contact Heather at hacerro@rplmn.org to start the process.
To sign up for a class visit, please email Heather Acerro, Head of Youth Services at hacerro@rplmn.org with a list of dates and times that would work for your group. Please note that the Library needs a minimum of 6 weeks to schedule a visit and not all days and times will be available for a staff presentation or tour.
If you are not interested in a formal presentation or other activity as part of your visit, you are welcome to bring your class anytime the library is open.
