For Parents and Tutors
The Louis Bay 2nd Library is very supportive of our local tutors, parents, and homeschooling community. We have a tutoring room that can be booked for tutor and study purposes. To book the tutoring room, please speak to the Children’s Circulation desk staff to check availability.
The Children’s Room is also in the process of creating a dedicated homeschooling collection which will be available to our patrons. If you are a homeschooling parent, we would love to hear from you about your home school group and the materials you use.
Free Educational Resources
The following is a selection of free educational resources that cover a vast spread of content from coding, to reading comprehension, history, and even math manipulators.
All websites below offer free materials, but may offer additional materials or services at a paid tier.
All websites are reputable sources, but the Children's Room has not verified every page personally and pages may change over time. Please be forewarned and use your best judgement.
Homeschooling Resources
The NJ State Department of Education maintains a FAQÂ page on Homeschooling.
Additional homeschooling materials can be accessed here through the BCCLS website.
Other networking groups in the Hawthorne area include the Bergen County NJ Homeschoolers on Facebook,
Passaic County NJ Homeschoolers, and for teens try Teen Homeschoolers of NJ, also on Facebook.
