Speaker's Bureau

Do you have an interesting career you'd like to share? a hobby you've honed over the years? or a cultural experience you would like to share?

Contact Ms. Stambaugh 

Let her know your topic and availability. 

We are looking for guest speakers to give short presentations to inspire students to explore their world and inform their futures! High school students are curious about the world, careers, hobbies, music, sports and cultures. It's so rewarding to see a student light up about their future!

Guest speakers give 15-20 minute presentations followed by student Q&A and interaction. 

Check the library heritage themes and months on the Library events calendar and consider visiting during a specific time of year.
