MDPLS Summer Tutoring
During the summer, children who are not reading or participating in other learning activities can suffer from the loss of valuable academic skills and knowledge gained during the school year. Participating in the Library's free Homework Help & Tutoring Program can help prevent summer learning loss and set students up for a successful new school year.
