welcomed them. The museum provides individual and group tours of its exhibit and a library of books and videotaped interviews<br />
for loan, as well as speakers who travel to group sites on request to tell the story of the Shelter. Museum staff collaborate with<br />
staff from schools and other organizations to develop meaningful experiences in exploring diversity and tolerance for groups of all<br />
ages, with special emphasis on school age youth. For more information contact the museum by phone (342-3003) or email<br />
