There will be an open house at the Brick branch on Thursday, September, 11th from 12:30 – 2pm. Please bring your used homeschool materials to swap or donate to other families. This worked really well at the last open house OCL held in Barnegat! This is a good opportunity to clean out those books and flash cards from our closets! There will be special tables set aside for these materials. If you are trying to find a support group or start up a “sub-group” of your own, this is your opportunity. I will also be presenting our library’s databases to you – they are invaluable as you school your children. If you have a computer at home, this is like having a reference library at your fingertips, 24/7!
Remember to register for library events at www.theoceancountylibrary.org or call 732-349-6200 x5300. And always contact me with any questions!

Patchwork Theatre starting up again
I just received the following email with information for homeschooled students interested in theater:
"Patchwork Theatre meets every Wed from 3 to 5pm in Bayhead. It is a great group. We have been involved for 3 plays and looking forward to another year. Usually ages are 9 years old and up.
This is a commitment and the directors expect you to be there every week since we only meet once a week.
The cost is very low. Cost is usually the scripts, bringing snacks one or two times in the season, chip in for pizza and flowers near the end of the season. Sometimes you are asked to help with a costume. Parents are expected to help with something during the season.
We are getting a list of kids together so we can figure out a play. We are looking for actors and esp. CREW. Every part is important. Thanks. Phyllis - kiernanfamily7@netzero.net"

Victory for homeschoolers in California
"In a unanimous decision, the California Court of Appeal for the Second Appellate District today ruled that “California statutes permit home schooling as a species of private school education.”
