HENNEPIN COUNTY

Library has resources aplenty for students

Hennepin County Library provides homework resources for students.

Its "Homework Hub" and online "Homework Rescue" links, as well as the www.hclib.org website's KidLinks and TeenLinks pages, provide databases and recommended websites students can use. They are organized alphabetically by subject, and help is also available through the library's "Ask Us" information service by phone, e-mail, Instant Messaging, texting and, of course, in person.

The library needs volunteers for its Homework Hubs located in 11 Hennepin County libraries. They are in the East Lake, Franklin, Hosmer, Minneapolis Central, Nokomis, North Regional, Northeast and Sumner libraries in Minneapolis, and in the Augsburg Park (Richfield), Brookdale (Brooklyn Center) and Hopkins libraries in suburban Hennepin County. For more information or to volunteer, call 612-543-8539 or go online to www.hclib.org/pub/info/support/volunteers.cfm .
