How do we help homeschoolers? What impact does this have on collection development and programming? The needs of the different age groups require us to be elementary, middle school and high school librarian all rolled into one.

Benefits and Learning Objectives
    • At the end of the program, participants will understand what is required of parents of each different age group of homeschoolers so that they can further facilitate with their needs.
    • At the end of the program, participants will understand the needs of the homeschooler in terms of collection development.
    • At the end of the program, participants will have a list of successful programs that will attract homeschoolers to the public library.
