Frequently Asked Questions

How is it structured?

what resources do you provide?

How is it structured?

This program will accommodate up to 80 people and span 2 hours in the library on the program day. (20 people sign up for one of four 30-minute time slots.) There are other activities they can do after their 30 minutes in the whale.

What ages can come?

what resources do you provide?

How is it structured?

The suggested age range is children entering 1st grade - 6th grade. This is not a program for children under 5. Younger kids have a harder time sitting still in the whale and it's sometimes disruptive to other people who are listening.

Once patrons reserve their spot, they will have access to our resources page. We also have a resources page for librarians that includes marketing materials, book lists, and other activities that you can make available to your patrons. 

Can it be outside?

How much space do we need?

what resources do you provide?

Unfortunately, this is an inside activity. Heat, wind and rain prevent us from setting it up outside, so we don't book outside programs.

How much space do we need?

How much space do we need?

How much space do we need?

The whale is an 8 ft tube that is 43 ft long (essentially.) With the flippers out, it’s about 30 ft wide, but because it’s inflatable, the flippers are flexible and can go against a wall. If the diagonal of a room is 40 ft, that will work. I usually will walk out 14 big steps to see if it will fit. The other thing is that around the tail stock, it gets smaller, so sometimes that can fit through a doorway. The flippers can go between stacks of books.

HOw much does it cost?

How much space do we need?

How much space do we need?

$595 plus travel. Travel is often split among libraries in the same area. You can add on extra 30-minute sessions for an additional $105 each.
