This is the 25th Anniversary of the Homeschool Resource Collection at the Johnsburg Public Library. On June 13th we will celebrate this anniversary. More details to follow, but we hope you can join us!

Did you recently start homeschooling or are you interested in homeschooling but don't know where to start? This is a terrific opportunity to get answers to the most common questions people have about homeschooling including:

* How do I homeschool within the law?
* Where do I find other homeschoolers?
* Which curriculum is right for us?
* What does my child need to graduate high school?
* What is this "deschooling" people keep telling me about?
* How do I transfer out of another school?
* What does my child need to learn at each grade level?

No sales, no gimmicks, no pressure!

This workshop is being offer by Kathy Wentz, a volunteer with the Homeschool Resource Center at the Johnsburg Public Library and on their behalf.

This program will not be recorded so that attendees can ask questions and still be able to maintain their privacy.

The event link is published. Mark yourself as "gong" and read the discussion!

Have you used the resources at the Johnsburg Library? If so, please consider filling out the form here and asking your US Congressional Representative to fight for our public libraries!

NEW: President Trump's executive order to eliminate the Institute of Museum & Library Services would have disastrous effects for communities nationwide. We call on all Americans who value reading and learning to reach out to their elected leaders.
