This will be a school year like no other. The transition to remote learning is daunting and the challenges are unfamiliar. Don’t worry; you’re not alone. Chicago Public Library is here to help.
Parents and caregivers-turned homeschoolers have so many questions that range from “How do I balance managing my work while helping my children with theirs?” to “Am I doing enough to support my child’s education?” We understand the anxieties and uncertainties of remote learning. That is why Chicago Public Library is here to provide accessible and free resources to make learning at home more manageable and for the whole family:
