Self-Guided Visit: Story Explorers

What’s in the Library? Lots and lots of books of course, but did you know we also have ancient objects, surprising sounds and exciting art? Oh, and a giant furry octopus!

Whatever it is, everything in the Library has a story to tell, and so do your students. See some of these weird and wonderful items up close, all while you explore three imaginary worlds in our new, child-friendly experience.

Your group will explore the space in a 50-minute self-guided visit during which time you will be the only visitors to the Story Explorers: a journey through imaginary worlds exhibition.
