Come and go as you please. Refreshments are provided.
Homework Help – Wednesday, Nov. 29, 3:30 – 6:30 p.m.
School is challenging for many students, and pandemic learning loss is an additional reality facing today’s youth. The Central Resource Library is thrilled to announce the return of Homework Help coaches to support student learning and academic achievement. Homework Help will focus specifically on literacy support for grades 2-5. Students are encouraged to bring specific homework assignments from school, such as book reports, writing projects, vocabulary, spelling, science or social studies reading, or any other work related to their specific literacy needs. English Language Learners (ELL) are welcome. Students will be served on a first-come, first-served basis, and busy times may require a wait. Additional online tutoring resources are available at on our website and include BrainFuse, Lightbox, and Khan Academy among others.
Teen Book Club – Saturday, Dec. 2, 2 – 3 p.m.
We are proud to present the Library’s first ever Teen Book Club. Let’s get together to share our love of reading and chat about each month’s books. No registration necessary. Come join us at Antioch. Bring your own book or check out the month’s book, “Spell Bound” by F.T. Lukens ahead of time from the Library—the title is offered in the catalog as a physical copy and eBook.
And there’s much more happening this week …
