“The Norman B. Leventhal Map Center at the Boston Public Library is dedicated to the creative educational use of its cartographic holdings, which extend from the 15th century to the present.  The Center has a particular interest in developing innovative uses of maps and geographic materials to engage young people’s curiosity about the world, thereby enhancing their understanding of geography, history, world cultures, and citizenship.”

The Map Center has specific teacher resources and its current display is “Geography in the Classroom.”  Saturday, Nov. 15th there will be a Family Open House in the BPL’s map center from 10am-12pm.
