Museum News and Briefs
Extended Museum Hours During Summer This is the 2nd year the museum has been open to the public. More and more school groups, youth organizations, adult groups and families are utilizing our facility and services, and are always quick to comment on the kind attention and good feelings they get from our staff and volunteers. In an effort to be an even greater resource to our community, we are extending the museum's open hours for the summer months. The Museum will be open 4 days per week from July 1 - September 1. Beginning July 1 the museum will be open to the public Wednesday through Saturday 11 am to 4 pm. We are also willing to make special arrangements and/or appointments for visitors so please call the museum at (805) 614-0806 if you would like to visit the museum on another day. THE MUSEUM IS SEEKING DONATIONS The Natural History Museum is looking for a donation of office equipment from generous individuals or businesses. At this time we have a need for a 35 mm carousel slide projector and a four-drawer filing cabinet. These items are very important to us but we cannot fit them into our budget. Please contact us at (805) 614-0806 if you are able to make a donation. The museum depends upon your generosity to provide better service to our community.
