think that any one else on my staff could deliver this program. Melanie's knowledge of lesson plans, group/classroom management and ability to converse with any age person all go into making this program a success. And Melanie's contacts with the entire s.e.

very disappointed that my local (and other nearby) libraries did not have homeschool programs.

<span style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:black">When I began working at FCL as a Page, I learned that one of the parapros in the children's department was also a homeschooler. Three or four years ago, she started a program for homeschoolers and,
since I now work in a different building and am an adult librarian, I wondered how it was going, given the less than enthusiastic response you received to your post. Here's what she said:</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:black;background:white">I have had a wonderful response to my homeschool program, thankfully!! I have a regular group that comes, along with new people, every month. I think it makes a huge difference that
I homeschooled my children--they see me as credible in providing a program for them. The parents are VERY appreciative and give me feedback as to what they like/need/want. </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">These meetings have resulted in increased use of library materials, and given us some useful direction in collection development that has benefited the community as a whole. For example, in the early
days of the HAB, we received a request for foreign language learning materials such as Rosetta Stone. From that request we embarked on a process that has resulted in us now having five foreign language laptops available for checkout. Each has a different
language learning software installed on it, and they are very popular. It appears HAB has also been useful to homeschoolers for networking, and the library is now identified as “the place to go” for new homeschoolers in the area who want to learn more and
get looped in.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
