Dear Teacher,

The staff of the Salinas Public Library is pleased to have you and your students visit the library.  We can tailor the visit to suit the needs and grade level of your group. If you are studying a particular topic, the librarian can prepare resources in preparation for your tour.

​Please note:

• The maximum number of people for a single visit is approximately 30 per class.
• We can only accommodate 2 classes per day. 
• Please submit one form per class. If you are looking to book multiple classes, each teacher/class must submit an individual form.

In order to allow for our staff to process and prepare library cards for your students to receive on the day of their tour, please schedule your visit at least two weeks in advance. The library card application will be emailed when the visit is scheduled. After you have received the completed applications from your students, return them to the library at least one week prior to your scheduled visit.  We will process the applications and distribute the cards on the day of the visit. We cannot process cards for students on the day of the visit.

Each student must use his or her own card to check out books on the day of the tour.  Each child will be permitted to check out two books.  If the child already has a card that is blocked by fines, he or she will not be able to check out materials.

Please fill out the Class Visit Request Form on our website and we will contact you to confirm your requested date and time. Visits are limited to one hour. The available time for class visits are:

• Cesar Chavez Library: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9:30 am - 12:00 pm
• El Gabilan Library: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9:30 am - 12:00 pm
• John Steinbeck Library: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9:30 am - 12:00 pm

Thank you,
Library Staff
