Welcome!

Thank you for stopping by the Bethel Park Public Library's site for homeschooling families. For the past several years we have been offering regular programming for homeschooled children and in that time we have met so many wonderful people who have helped us in our service to this growing group of families. If you have suggestions for ways in which we can improve our homeschool outreach, we would like to hear from you! Please feel free to comment on this blog or, if you prefer, email us at hahnl@einetwork.net. Please put "Homeschooling" in the subject line, as our spam filter is a tricky one and we don't want to lose your email!
