Homeschooling Meet n' Greet

The library is naturally one of the first places most home-schoolers visit for their work.  In light of this, I have planned a general get together for all interested families.  We will be holding a Meet n' Greet where parents and kids can get to know each other and exchange ideas about testing, curriculum, assignments etc.  It's a great way to socialize and meet others of like-minded attitude towards education.

Here is a list of places one can browse for more information:
