Young children must be supervised at all times by a parent/adult and must be able to understand and obey all rules of the Reading Room.
Middle and High School students are encouraged to use the materials at the Center for their research needs. We request a school photo ID on the day of their visit to comply with the rules for issuance of a Reading Room pass. Students without a photo ID for admittance must be accompanied by an adult with appropriate identification.
