Must I schedule a class visit in advance?

Libraries are free and open to all. However, you may not be satisfied with your visit if the Librarian is unable to devote time to your class due to other time commitments. Librarians look forward to collaborating and building relationships that make positive experiences for the students, and support your academic goals. All visits to the Children's Library in Copley Square must be scheduled ahead of time due to the room's high occupancy. Teen Central requires a two week advance notice for any school visit. Please contact 617.859.2335 or teencentral@bpl.org to schedule your class visit. Some other locations may be able to accommodate unscheduled visits. You can get in touch with the location you’d like to visit to plan with the librarians there.
