The Library’s Homework Help program is held every Tuesday and Thursday from 3:30 – 4:45pm, except for school holidays and when Pelham Memorial High School students have statewide testing. Check the events calendar for more complete information. (PMHS students volunteer to run this program.)

Homework Help is for children in grades K – 8, and students must bring their written assignments and accompanying textbooks. Students are free to drop in and leave when they’ve completed their assignments. Homework Help is also a good opportunity for beginning readers to read aloud to an interested teen. Snacks are provided.
