K-12 School & Homeschool Programs
We offer discussion-based experiences through close examination of our primary source material. In addition, we offer interdisciplinary music programs that engage students in firsthand education experiences with world class musicians, as well as programs that support students’ use of the Library for reading and research. Have a specific learning goal in mind? We’ll collaborate with you to customize a program that meets the needs of your students and your curriculum.

Research
Pequot Library supports students with research projects by offering access to our Special Collections by appointment at the Library. Librarians assist students with examination of materials while discussing methods for analyzing sources, comparing and corroborating information, and using reasoning to draw evidence-based conclusions. Please allow 48 hours notice. To schedule an appointment, please email specialcollections@pequotlibrary.org.
