Homework Clubs
Need some help with your homework? Can't find space at home to study? Then our Homework Clubs are the place for you! The Homework Clubs are run by trained staff who can help you explore the Internet, find books to help you with all aspects of your homework or help you with your revision.
Homework Clubs are open to anyone aged 8 - 16
- You are free to come and go as you please and use the Clubs as much or as little as you like
- Everything is free, including Internet access, printing and photocopying
- Most Clubs have computers, Internet access, email, CD ROMs, colour printers, photocopiers, scanners, dictionaries, text books and encyclopaedias.
Check the details below for when we're open during the school term time. With Homework Clubs in so many libraries, there's bound to be one near you!
We're not just open when schools are though. During the school holidays we may be offering craft activities, or just be open for a chat and to help with any work you've been set. Check with the libraries themselves to see what's on offer.
