Homework

All our libraries now have Homework Clubs. Homework Clubs are open to all children, but specifically for children aged 8 to 14 years old.

Homework Clubs provide:

• free use of the computers and internet access
• help so you can find information
• free photocopies/printing for your homework
• space to do your homework
• sessions that are free and no need to book. Stay as long as you like
