	Homeschoolers are a uniquely resourceful, independent, and intense group of people! As homeschooling, the fastest growing form of education, increases 7-12% per year, public libraries need to be prepared to serve this population. I am currently a full-time graduate student at San Jose State University’s School of Library and Information Science, months away from getting my Teacher Librarian credential and MLIS. In addition, I am a credentialed educator in the State of California and homeschool my three children. Over the past few years, I have done extensive reading regarding the homeschooling movement and library-homeschooler symbiotic relationships. I am quite passionate about the role of libraries in better serving the educational needs of homeschooling families with school-age children. I offer the following resources to help you with improving the public library as a learning center for local homeschoolers. I encourage you to study your homeschoolers to provide a deeper understanding of their impact on your library as well as essential feedback for making changes to library collections, policies, and programs. --[[User:jweston \| Janine Weston]]		Homeschoolers are a uniquely resourceful, independent, and intense group of people!

		+	[http://www.mcpl.us/teenzone/publishing Teen Publishing Project] - An initiative of the [http://mcpl.us Marathon County Public Library] ([http://mcpl.us MCPL]), in which teens county-wide are invited to submit writing and artwork for online publication, librarian and peer awards, and the chance to be included in an annual printed magazine ("Pixel & Pages"). Community response to this project has been very positive and enthusiastic, particularly among home-schooled teens and their parents. Extra-curricular activities that offer community-wide recognition for student writing and artwork are especially rare for this demographic.
