Group Visits & Tour Policy

Library Tours and group visits are an important part of the Dustin Michael Sekula Memorial Library’s service program; therefore, the library welcomes area schools, child care providers, business, and other groups and organization wishing to tour the library.  In order to ensure that the tour or visit is a positive experience for all, we do require that all tours or visits be scheduled and planned to best meet the needs of the visiting group.
