My fellow Arlisians--
I feel somewhat overwhelmed by the response that was
unleashed by that one innocent posting of mine yesterday, but that aside:
Our Education Department is considering creating some
special benefits for librarians who visit the museum, based on the idea that
they are educators just like teachers.
In the past we offered free one-year memberships for
teachers (this program was discontinued, because it did not have the effect
that was aimed at: that teachers would renew their membership after the first
year). Presently teachers receive a preview pass to visit the museum for
free before they bring their class in for a tour. The department is thinking
about giving teachers free admission to the museum (without all the benefits
that come with a membership), and maybe offer special programs one weekend par
quarter.
My question is: Are there any museums out there that offer
special things for librarians?
