North Kohala Public Library’s “Home School Wednesday”program for 6-12-year-old children will resume in September with sessions from 10-11 a.m. on Sept. 5 and 19, Oct. 3 and 17 and Nov. 7 and 21. The classes will continue twice monthly through the remainder of the public school year.

Each one-hour session features hands-on activities relating to books and libraries. Students will also be able to explore their own areas of interest and research with the help of librarian Janet Lam.

The purpose of “Home School Wednesday” is to offer activities where home school students can come together to experience terrific books, discover how libraries are organized, and have fun at the library.

Working at the interest level of the individual child, participants learn research techniques and how to use the online data bases offered by the Hawaii State Public Library System. Parents and instructors are welcome to participate and learn to use technology for library research along side their children.

This program at North Kohala Public Library is flexible, open to suggestions, and easily modified to meet the needs of home school families, explained Lam.

For more information and a complete program schedule, call Lam at the library at 889-6655. Please call three weeks in advance to request a sign language interpreter or other special accommodation.
