4th Grade

Fourth grade students will join Ellen Jepson, the school age librarian, to find popular books that demonstrate 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd person points of view.   Students will also learn skills for using Infosoup, the library’s online catalog, including how to search for items, read a record, and access their account.  A tour of the children’s section is included, and the visit lasts approximately one hour.  This fieldtrip is available from October 1 to May 31. OEU 2 (RL4.4, RL4.6)

Getting library cards and/or checking out books
are not a requirement to
visit the library for a field trip!

Library cards may be obtained for your students
if desired.  This requires that completed
library card applications be returned to the library at least ten days before
the visit, accompanied by a class list
showing the students’ home addresses. 
Library card applications can be found on our FAQ page.  If you choose to check out books, please add
30 minutes to the amount of time you plan to stay at the library.

All library programs are free, and school age programs are taught by a professional librarian. 

Classrooms consisting of more than one grade may attend the program of their choice, and the program will be appropriately modified.

Please ask us if you would like help combining this fieldtrip with a stop at another Appleton downtown destination.
