Shelley Harris is a children's librarian at Oak Park Public Library. They recently turned one of the study rooms into a Homework Hub for Oak Park kids through fifth grade. Their new computer has a touch screen and switch adapter and the following software:
Boardmaker

The room is also stocked with tri-write pencils, pencils with grips,raised line paper, white boards and workbooks for preschool through grade 5. Kids can sign up to use the room for up to two hours at a time if they (or a parent) have an Oak Park Public Library card. Parents can use the computer for Boardmaker if they have their child with them.
