VIRTUAL TOURS
This page is to help those in self quarantine during these times find educational and interesting virtual tours to keep their minds engaged.
Thank you for your thoughts regarding all of the library's work on the Virtual Tours!
"Hope you're staying safe & healthy! I wanted to take a sec and let you know what a great resource the Chesley Library educational web page https://www.chesleylib.com/educational-sources.html has been for my family... My mother moved in with us just before the COVID outbreak and with twin 9 year olds we definitely had our hands full LOL. But we were able to get some EXCELLENT resources to use while everyone was stuck at home during quarantine thanks to your links...especially the virtual field trip resources! My girls loved exploring the Boston Childrens Museum.. it's great granddaughter/grandma bonding time too! The girls suggested that we send a thank-you note...or e-mail haha. But it does feel like a good time to show gratitude and put some positivity into the world so here we are =) Thank you!! We also wanted to share another good resource to return the favor, so we picked out a neat article about museums in Dubai, at https://www.bayut.com/mybayut/best-museums-dubai-list/ . A sister studied abroad in Dubai last year and they loved hearing all her stories.. They thought you'd want to add this to your virtual resources, for other people to learn from this summer! Hopefully it's helpful.. Best SM" Google Arts and Culture partnered with over 2,500 museums and galleries around the world to offer virtual tours of their spaces.
