Help with homework

Libraries can help you with your homework and revision in lots of ways-

• quiet space for you to study
• information books to borrow
• reference books - like encyclopedias - to use at the library or try the Online Reference Library from the link on this page
• People's Network computers for fast, free internet access and word processing.
• printing and photocopying
• Homework Clubs... there are five free Homework Clubs where you can get extra help from trained staff plus access to the internet

The five Homework Clubs are supported by the Shropshire Children's Fund and all have competitions, holiday programmes, special events and projects to keep you busy all year round:

What one parent says about Homework Club:
"Homework Club has made a big difference to my house. I find their homework is too hard for me now to help with and we have no computer, so it is invaluable."

"They both enjoy the club and it has stopped a lot of homework arguments."

What children say about Homework Club:
"I think it's great, a nice relaxed, peaceful place."
"Brilliant, helpful and has loads of space to work."
"Snacks - fast internet - photocopying and printing - digital camera - listening centre - laminator - rewards and treats for hard work and being helpful. You should join us!"
