Students To Visit Children's Museum and Library
In an effort to raise awareness about educational opportunities for families, VITA will be hosting a students' visit to the Lafayette Children's Museum and Lafayette Parish Library, main branch on April 13, 2011 at 1:00 p.m.

The Children's Museum of Acadiana (CMA) is a hands-on participatory museum serving children and their families, schools, and community organizations by providing interactive exhibits, special services,
performances, and workshops.

Postcards are being sent out to students who have children or grandchildren that could benefit from these educational opportunities. Students must R.S.V.P., if interested in participating.

Students and staff members will walk to The Children's Museum and participate in a self-guided tour.
Everyone will then move to the Lafayette Public Library, now located on Jefferson St. while the main building is renovated.

Students will have an opportunity to apply for a library card, to take a tour of the temporary facility, and to receive the childrens book Fancy Nancy at the Art Museum, a book about visiting an art museum. Students will then be able to take the book home with them and read to their children/grandchildren.
