Children's Services
Homework Assistance Program
The Children's Services Department offers a free Homework Assistance Program for elementary school children who need help with their homework while studying at the library.
Local high school students conduct this Homework Assistance Program by volunteering their time and expertise on school subjects such as English, mathematics and science. The program is held in the Homework Asisstance Room Monday through Thursday from 3:30 - 5:00 p.m. during the school year.
Please call the Children’s Desk at (626) 307-1358 for details.
