Homeschool Hour
September 14-May 30
Thursdays 1-3 pm
The library meeting room is reserved every Thursday from 1-3 pm. The first Thursday of each month, Ms. Amy, one of the Youth Services Librarians, will lead the group activity. This will be different every month and will be a structured class time of art classes, cooking classes, science fairs, hands-on math games, etc.
The rest of the Thursdays are up for interpretation! Regular attendees of Homeschool Hour may sign up to lead activities on the clipboard located at the Children's Desk. Every week will be fun and full of variety, giving the homeschool community a chance for learning and connection.
