Lexington Park Library

Meeting Room B

Looking to help your student thrive in school? Dealing with homeschool burnout? Parents can benefit from learning about all the resources the Library has to offer!

We’ll go over navigating the physical Lexington Park Library, searching the catalog, all of our online resources and how to access them, using your library account and smartphone apps, and more! You’ll leave with a whole collection of bookmarks and printouts to walk you through everything and also inform you about anything we may not have time to fully touch on.


This program is aimed specifically towards homeschoolers & parents, so we will be paying specific attention to our library services that are geared towards children and families. This includes resources to help with finding materials for different subjects, using our online Homework Helper, our Apps, Events that we offer, and so much more!

Kids are welcome to come along! We will have crafts set up to keep them occupied while you learn!
