The Alpine Public Library is happy to offer school visits during the months of April and May.  The purpose of a visit is to familiarize your students with the library and to promote the summer reading program.  A visit includes a library tour, story time, and a craft project.  Kids are welcome to bring their lunch to enjoy in our courtyard.

If a trip to the library is not convenient, the children’s librarian can visit your classroom instead.

To schedule a visit, please call the library at 837-2621.
