Homeschool Resource Center in a Public Library |
|
Kathy Wentz |
|
Libraries can provide more than just books. Kathy Wentz shares the example of how homeschoolers worked with library staff in Johnsburg, Illinois, to create a Homeschool Resource Center (HRC). This project was funded with a grant by the Illinois Secretary of State's office for "New and Innovative Programs." The HRC provides resources and materials, including microscopes, telescopes, math and science manipulatives, foreign language tapes, and more. |
