School's almost out...

Summer. It's almost here. It's so close you can taste it. All that stands in the way are those last few school projects... and finals. The library can help you breeze through the next month and those last few tests.

Check out our Homework Help page for lots of useful links. We can help you cite papers, find great sources, and more.

Sleeping in, days at the beach-- you're almost there! Good luck, and keep an eye on teens.hcplc.org for lots of fun, free events happening at your library this summer.
