I am particularly interested in one of the eight new goals our Library System has adopted: Children and Teens in Salt Lake County will have access to resources that assist them with their homework assignments and help them to succeed in school. I'm toying with the idea of creating a pull out "Homework Help" collection in the kid's area. I know, I know, you're probably thinking something like: "the entire non-fiction collection is homework help, but I'm thinking a bit more narrowly, with a focus on elementary school students. It might include science fair project info, kid reference materials, writing and language stuff and math instruction. Hmmm. Tell me what you think.

i loved that you got me the second book of humphrey so thanks
You have such great ideas! Keep them coming. The library is the last refuge in this country for the underserved populations.
Is it possible to enlist some of the older students to help out with some turtoring and thus give them something to do other than cause trouble? Maybe the county could help with that kind of project. Of course, maybe the ones who cause trouble wouldn't be the ones to volunteer to help.
Ok Susan, go to my blog because its accountability time! Oh yeah and what days are you working at the library this week?? Its catchup time!
I rated that goal pretty highly for my branch, but I am not sure how to do something about it. If you do pull out a homework collection, let me know. I want to come see it.
