Homework Help volunteers work with students one-on-one or in small groups to assist with general homework help support in all subjects for grades K-12. This is a free service and offered on a drop-in, first come, first served basis. The goal of Homework Help is for students to form meaningful relationships with volunteers while having a welcoming space to do their homework.
Library patrons also can use the Ask a Librarian reference service, available 24 hours a day, or access online resources for teens and children.
The Library is looking for more Homework Helpers who can help high school students with math and science at several branches, including at the Broadview Library. If interested, contact Anne Vedella, volunteer services coordinator, at [email protected] to request a volunteer application.
