At the Crossroads of Community, Learning, & Discovery

Resources for Parents:

Welcome to Homeschool @ the Library—a place where homeschool families can come together to learn, explore, create, and connect.
​
At Westmoreland Public Library, we believe the library can be more than a place to find books. It can be a place where curious minds discover new interests, families build connections, and learning happens in fun and unexpected ways.
​
Homeschool @ the Library isn't about replacing what happens at home.
​
It's about adding another place to learn.
​
Whether your child is building a STEM project, creating a piece of art, discovering a new book, meeting a community expert, or simply making a new friend, we hope Homeschool @ the Library becomes a meaningful part of your family's homeschool experience.
