Library to Host Homeschool Resource Fair

Tompkins County Public Library will host its second annual Homeschool Resource Fair, Saturday, May 13 from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the BorgWarner Community Room.

The Homeschool Resource Fair provides an opportunity for families to explore--through table displays, networking and a question and answer session--a variety of regional resources available to homeschoolers, including local lending labs, curricular resources, educational programming, homeschool co-ops and classes, and support groups.

An informational panel discussion featuring parents of elementary, middle and secondary-aged students will be held from 1 to 2 p.m. and will offer an opportunity for potential and veteran homeschool families to connect with their peers to share experiences and advice.

Exhibiting organizations include: The Finger Lakes Fife and Drum Corps, Classical Conversations, the Finger Lakes Unschoolers Network Library, Northern Light Learning Center, Earth Arts, The Clay School, The Finnstitute, Ithaca Community LEAH, Tompkins Cortland Community College’s CollegeNow program, The Hangar Theatre, The Learning Web, Primitive Pursuits, Tompkins County 4-H Youth Fair, The History Center in Tompkins County and Cornell University SPLASH.
