Volunteer Tutoring Program http://www.claytonlibrary.org/volunteer_tutoring_program.htm 

Need a tutor, or just some help with homework? 

Fill out the Tutor Request Form   return it to the library, and join the group on Wednesday afternoons when school is in session, after the lead tutor contacts you.  If you need an individual tutor, you may be referred when one becomes available (there is a long waiting list).  In the meantime, join the group! 

Questions?  Contact Arlene AKikkawa@ccclib.org

The group meets on Wednesdays from 1:30-3:00 for elementary school students, and 3:00-4:30 for middle school/highschool students.  Our tutoring program is provided at no cost.
