- How many children you want to bring. Normally a primary school class of up to 30 is fine
- How old the children are.
- Any special needs that can be planned for such as community languages, physical or visual impairment.
- The purpose of the visit, for example an introduction to the library, to look at resources on a theme, to develop information literacy.
