Study Support / Homework Help

The Study Support Sessions take place in many libraries and are run by trained staff, with information and resources to help with school projects, coursework and other interests. The sessions are mostly for 7-16 year olds, but some libraries do have different age criteria. Full details of all the sessions can be found in the downloadable document at the bottom of this page.

NOTE: Sessions run in term time only.

Resources at the sessions include books, encyclopaedias, free access to computers and the Internet, and to the Online Reference Room. There are also printing and photocopying facilities available.
