Help with Homework

Youngsters will get a helping hand with their homework – thanks to Cheshire East Council’s library staff. 

Students who need support with researching an essay or project, or are looking for books and online resources to aid their studies, can pop into their local Cheshire East library during Help With Homework Week, which runs from October 17th to 21st. 

Between 3pm and 4.30pm (on these days), staff will be on hand to help show students where to look for books and how to use online reference resources. Specialist librarians will also be available to answer questions via the live online ‘Ask a Librarian’ service. 

And there is even the chance for under-16s to enter a quiz and win a prize. 

Even if you cannot get to a library our staff can still help. People can ‘talk’ to a specialist librarian using the live Online Enquiry Service – just look for the chat box at the foot of the libraries’ homepage – click on the link below the photo. 

You can also use the Virtual Reference Library to search the Encyclopaedia Britannica and many other superb reference works from any computer with internet access. All you need is your library membership number. 

All libraries are happy to offer class visits throughout the year to introduce pupils to the library service and all it can offer. 

To enter the under-16s prize quiz, download the questions on Cheshire East Council’s libraries homepage and hand your completed entry in to any Cheshire East library by Saturday, October 29, 2011.
