City of North Platte: North Platte Public Library: Library Tours
Library Tours
North Platte Public Library offers tours for any interested group. A tour may consist
of using the library catalog, how to checkout materials, resources and special collections
available in the library, services of the library, and facility tours. The library offers
organized and informal tours. The following is a list of organized tours offered by the library:
First Grade Tours: All parochial and public school first grade teachers are
invited to bring their class to the library for a tour. A one hour tour is scheduled by the
teacher at a time convenient for the class. The library tour provides an opportunity to inform
first graders that they may apply for a library card in their own name and how to do it. They
are told what materials they may check out and for how long, informed of library policies and
programs and shown where materials are located. Students are advised as to library manners
and check out procedures. Children view a short entertaining video and are read a picture
book.
Girl Scouts & Boy Scouts: A tour similar to the first grade tour is adapted for
the age of the scouts attending. If the scouts are older than first grade they are shown how
to find materials using the library catalogs and given an item to look for as a challenge.
Information is given about library programs that are age appropriate.
Home School Tour: This tour contains the same information as the first grade tour
but is expanded. A walk through tour of the entire library is included. Older
students and parents are shown the location of reference materials, the Technology
Learning Center and the Young Adult area and told of programs provided by that
department.
