Database Training can be scheduled with your local branch and will be done at the branch’s computer learning center. Available for groups of 5 or more adults and/or children ages 8 and up.
Homeschool programs and book discussion clubs are scheduled regularly at all 3 branches. Check kentonlibrary.org/events to find the current listing of homeschool programs; limit your search by choosing “Homeschool” as the Event Type.
While the library does not provide textbooks, our library collection and electronic resources are top-notch, and will supplement and extend your homeschool lessons. Go to the catalog and do a keyword search for “home schooling” to find over 150 print and electronic resources that you can check out.
Every homeschool family should be familiar with the Kentucky Department of Education Homeschool Information packet.
