The National Veterans Memorial and Museum (NVMM) in Columbus offers several opportunities for libraries and other organizations to engage their communities. All these things can be done for both youth and adult audiences. The NVMM can generally travel within a 30-mile radius to present in-person programs, though exceptions can be made for specific programs and events. Virtual programs and the Story Collection are available to libraries anywhere.


  *   In-person or virtual group tours and field trips: Developed for school field trips, these can also be adapted as library programs. Details are here<https://nationalvmm.org/education/field-trips/> and questions may be directed to education at nationalvmm.org<mailto:education at nationalvmm.org>.
  *   "Hybrid field trips": For those who cannot visit the museum, but still want a hands-on, in-person experience. The NVMM provides a PowerPoint presentation of its permanent exhibition space, along with items from its Education Collection to touch and try on. Contact the email address above for details.
  *   Various veteran/military focused presentations: Like the hybrid tours but tailored to a specific theme or subject matter. The NVMM can customize presentations and workshops for people based around a variety of topics, given enough time to create them. Contact the email address above for details.
  *   NVMM Story Collection: A great way for those with a current or former military service member's story to record and share it to the NVMM digital collection. All those touched by military service, including active service members, Veterans, spouses, children, friends, and community members are invited to participate. Adding these conversations becomes part of the NVMM and broadens the stories we share. It is completely free to do!
