One more week until Redwood City School District students are back in school. Redwood City Public Library is here to support student success in the coming year (and every year)!
Summer break is in its final week and if you haven't yet joined, there is still time to participate in the Summer Learning Challenge (through August 31). Participants get a free book as well as being entered into a $1,000 scholarship prize drawing.
As our students are preparing for the new school year, we wanted to take the time to remind you of all the educational resources available at Redwood City Public Library:
FREE online help from expert tutors available 24/7 through Brainfuse Online Tutoring. Available online and at computers in the library. If you need staff asssitance, don't hesitate to ask!
On our Parent and Teacher page, we have a wealth of resources for students of all ages, including research databases, eBooks, videos, language learning resources and more.
If you are a teacher, home school educator, preschool or day care provider who lives or works in our service area, you are eligible for a Teacher Card. With a teacher card, you are able to keep your classroom and personal use material on separate library records.
Last but not least, if you are reading this and don't have a library card to access our resources, GET ONE HERE. Happy back to school!
