SAINT PAUL, Minn. -- Saint Paul Public Library’s in-person Homework Centers return and open for drop-in assistance on September 25 at five library locations across Saint Paul. Homework Centers are free to use and offer students of all ages support, technology, and resources to study independently or with the help of volunteer tutors.
“I invite students of all ages to one of the Library’s Homework Centers,” said Maureen Hartman, Library Director. “The drop-in spaces at libraries across Saint Paul provide a resource-rich space for students to learn together and connect with tutors and technology to help them succeed in school and their studies.”
In addition to help from volunteer tutors, students have access to computers, printers, reference books, school supplies and a comfortable space to study at all Homework Centers. Saint Paul Public Library’s in-person Homework Centers schedule is:

All Saint Paul Public School students, along with students at some charter and private schools in Saint Paul, automatically receive a virtual library card through the Library Go program. Students can use their school ID number to check out e-materials using the Libby app or up to ten physical items at the library and access other services, like databases and online homework help.
“Library Go provides all students in Saint Paul with the opportunity to learn and connect to resources at library,” said Hartman. “The virtual card is easy to use and impossible to lose.”
