Homework Helper Program
The Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County is one of the oldest, largest and busiest library systems in the United States. The majority of the Library’s funding comes from public monies to support operations, with The Library Foundation working with the Library to offer services and meet community needs that are outside of tax support.
The Library’s Homework Helper program is funded through The Library Foundation. It provides free help to students in Kindergarten through eighth grade and assists students with homework on any subject in 20+ Library locations. Helpers are available during the school year to students as skilled aides and mentors. Thanks to the support of the Dater Foundation, the Library provided more than 10,000 student sessions to children during the 2018-19 school year. The average session was 45 minutes per student, who was 9 and in the 4th grade. Subject specific help was provided in all areas, with the most requested subjects being Math and Language Arts.
