As a Homework Helper & Book Buddy, you will meet with students who are looking for assistance on homework or building academic, literacy or language skills. They may need assistance with specific homework, or look to read a book with you to help build reading, language, and literacy skills. Students may be coming to the library or looking to read a book together over a virtual Zoom session, which volunteers will join from the library. Fill out an application to become a Homework Helper & Book Buddy.

Students seeking help with homework may check the Teen Programs calendar for upcoming Homework Helpers & Book Buddies dates.
