Group Library Visit Request Form

We look forward to hosting your group visit! Please review the following before completing the request form. 

For Youth Field Trips please fill out the form on the Central Library Field Trips Information Guide. 

For adult groups, please contact us at least two weeks in advance to request one of the following types of visits. We can combine or customize as needed. 

• Building Tours (45-60 minutes): Hosted by volunteers with a focus on special spaces in the Central Library, types of materials on each floor, and library services.
• Finding books/Using the online catalog workshop (30-45 Minutes): A librarian will provide an overview of our online catalog including the Digital Resources (downloadable eBooks and eAudiobooks, digital magazines and streaming music and movies).
• Research Workshop (45-60 Minutes): A research workshop is an opportunity for your group to meet with a librarian and learn about our databases in our 15–seat computer lab. If your group has a specific research topic, we will focus on databases that best meet your needs for finding journal articles, primary resources and other scholarly materials.
• LEED/Architecture Tour (time will vary based on the request): This is a specialized tour for architects and related groups. Hosted by Facilities staff with a focus on LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) and behind-the-scenes systems. Please indicate your area of interest on the form.

Please note the following:

• Adult groups are limited to a maximum of 15 participants per guide to limit disruption to others using the Library.
• Tours are scheduled Monday through Friday between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM.
