More Than You Expect

A gentleman approached the desk and asked if there was any possibility that I might know of any resources for a family that homeschools children who are stuggling with their reading and math. So I think "where do I begin"... I showed him the library website and the E-library resourses for students and parents, I showed him the best websites links to the school curriculum and I told him of the homework club, reading buddies, computer buddies and library camp. I gave him the program guide to read and of course he also left with an armload of books that we found him, a big smile and a promise to return soon to learn more. He could not believe all of what I showed him and I assured him there were more resources and books if and when he needed them. On leaving he said..."The library is great. There sure is more than you expect. I don't know why I waited so long to return to the library."
