VISITS AND TOURS OF THE LIBRARY
Members of the Children's Services staff are available to provide library tours, story times, and instruction in library resources on a limited basis for groups visiting the library. To find out if a tour, story time, or instructional program can be arranged for your group, please call the Children’s Department of the nearest full-service library at least one month in advance. Staff members are also available to visit schools, day care centers, and other organizations in Prince William County and the City of Manassas on a limited basis. Again, please contact the nearest full-service library a minimum of one month in advance to see if a librarian can be scheduled to visit your school or organization. (See contact information below.)
Teachers may download copies of the Library User Agreement form for their class or group visit. In order to be processed, these forms must be filled out legibly and completely and the information must be verified by the teacher. The name of the school or organization and teacher’s name must be clearly labeled on each application. Applications for children under the age of 18 must have a parent's signature in addition to the parent’s name clearly printed in the appropriate spot. Processing time for library card applications is a minimum of two weeks.
