Children's Education
Class Visits
Regular class visits from schools is a wonderful way for children to be encouraged in their love of reading. At the Libraries Horowhenua we have different options depending on the needs of the class:
- Casual or regular visits where students come in and take books out.
- A tour of the Library where students learn about what goes on in their own library, and what is available for them.
- Library skills lessons where students learn about how to use the Library effectively, this includes using the catalogue.
For us to be able to provide the best service, bookings are essential.
