Homework Help and Skill Enrichment

Homework Centers provide in-person no-cost homework help, as well as computer/printing access and research guidance for students. Assistance is available on a first-come, first-served basis. 

Enrichment Centers offer in-person no-cost programs that support student engagement in learning through fun activities that build reading, math, science, and critical thinking skills. See participating libraries and service hours below.
