May SAG Meeting Notes and Recording
Thank You to Special Collections Field Trip Volunteers
Along with the museums, Special Collections hosted field trip visits for all the sixth grade classes in Columbia Public Schools during April and May. Over 1,300 kids and teachers visited and learned about palm leaf books from Southeast Asia, cuneiform tablets from ancient Mesopotamia, and papyrus from ancient Egypt. We have gotten feedback that the Special Collections visit was a great experience for both the kids and teachers!
We could not have offered programming at this scale without the help of many volunteers. Thank you all for your dedication, enthusiasm, and willingness to share library knowledge and resources with some of our youngest patrons.
