For the Community: Homeschooling & Homework Questions
While Montgomery Library does not specifically collect Homeschooling Materials, many of our Reference resources on the 1st floor would be extremely helpful for answering questions.
Reference area on first floor |
Our most valuable resource for homeschoolers is our Teacher Learning Resource Center, located in the Library basement. There you can find children's books, activity books, and school textbooks.

Not everything circulates, so you may have to make copies of some items. See Information about getting a Community Borrower's Card.
