Summer Tutoring
Our spring semester will be finishing up in six weeks and we
are now gearing up for the summer semester. This would be a
good time for you to get your student on the waiting list if you
would like a tutor for this summer. Our summer semester goes for
8 weeks, two times a week in the afternoon. Come into the library
and get a student registration form to fill out. Spaces are limited.
Volunteers Needed
We continue to look for more volunteers to tutor at our center.
It is a commitment of 1 hour, two times a week in the afternoons.
It’s a great opportunity to support the families in our community
and a great experience to have for scholarships, resumes, civic or
church goals. Call Judy for more information today at 801-4894833.

Thank You
