and some Saturdays

A stop in the resource center can be a nice break in the middle of your trip to the museum.

Look for books or materials that relate to what you have seen in the galleries or to a special interest of your child.

Families, especially those with younger children, should definitely include a stop in the Library and Resource Center during any visit to the Eiteljorg. You are invited to settle in for awhile to read children’s books, watch a video or DVD, or browse the periodicals. You can also check out a set of seasonal garden cards for a tour of the Eiteljorg gardens.

Also be sure to look for one of several hands-on
discovery boxes on topics like weaving, beads,
buffalo, Kaya (American Girl) or ethnobotany
(how Native American people used plants).
These boxes contain books and background
information as well as hands-on objects and
activities, so be sure to allow time for some fun
exploration. Try a different one each time you
visit!

There are lots of things for families to do in the resource center.

The Stephen & Sharon Zimmerman Resource Center and the Watanabe Family Library are housed in the Nina Mason Pulliam Education Center, located on the canal level of the museum.
