Skill Builders: Library & Research is a hands-on program designed for homeschooling families who want to develop strong academic skills in a supportive library setting. This program will be taught by Ms. Pukahi, a former Elementary School Librarian Teacher.

Participants will:

This program provides a supportive environment where homeschoolers can explore their curiosity, build essential academic skills, and celebrate their learning with a community of peers.
