NWCPL Introduces New Homeschool H.U.B.B.

NORTH WEBSTER – North Webster Community Public Library is introducing a new monthly program for local homeschooling families: Homeschoolers Uniting Books and Beyond. The program will provide homeschool families with opportunities to connect with one another, discover new resources, learn from guest speakers and participate in a variety of activities and field trips throughout the school year.

The first Homeschool H.U.B.B. gathering for the 2026-27 school year will be held at 1 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 10. Families are invited to come together for social and snack time before enjoying a presentation from guest speaker Kathy Balke.

Balke began her homeschooling journey in 1986 and homeschooled her six children for a span of 29 years. During this meeting, she will share ways parents can make history come alive through the use of original source documents. Her presentation will offer homeschool families practical ideas for incorporating primary sources into their history studies.

Registration for the September gathering is recommended for families who would like to receive text and email reminders. To register or for more information, call the library at (574) 834-7122.
