Okay, homeschoolers, after finishing grad school in December I was a tad burnt out - actually, I was fried and could not muster enough energy to even keep up a blog. Those who have been there know what I mean. BUT, now I am feeling better, spring is around the corner and some new energy is beginning to flood my tired veins...so let me try this again...
I have been working in the Ocean County Library system while earning my MLIS degree, but now I am officially a Youth Services librarian with the Ocean County Library in Toms River. I love my job and the fact that I have been able to continue to outreach to homeschoolers. Many of you know that I am a homeschooler myself...I should use the past tense here though, since our son is 16 and teaches himself now. Isn't that the goal we all have for our children - that they become self-motivated learners?
Right now at the library we have a Homespun Book Discussion group for homeschoolers that meets in the Toms River Branch the second Wednesday of each month. It is for children ages 6 and up and this month we are doing the third book in the Magic Tree house series, Mummies in the Morning. Registration is necessary...go to http://theoceancountylibrary.org/.
And I am also planning another Open House for Homeschoolers in Ocean County on April 9th at the Barnegat Branch. Watch for details! More to come soon...

Anything planned for the Jackson Branch?
Good question! I have suggested to the libraries to begin their own programs and will continue to do so. Homeschool patrons should also approach their librarians and suggest daytime book discussions. Sometimes, it is a matter of having enough staff to run these programs. However, for our next open house, this may be a good location as I know there are many home schoolers in the Jackson area. Thank you for your question.
