Students who need help with their school work can go to the Seattle Public Library’s free after-school tutoring service, Homework Help.  

The South Park Branch added two afternoons of Homework Help a week, and the Columbia, High Point and Rainier Beach branches increased their weekly Homework Help hours. The High Point Branch now offers Homework Help three afternoons a week. 

Starting the week of Feb. 13, the Northgate Branch will offer two sessions of Homework Help a week. The Douglass-Truth, Lake City and NewHolly branches will continue their current Homework Help schedules. Find a map and schedule for each Homework Help location.

All Homework Help locations will also now offer students free snacks, provided by The Seattle Public Library Foundation and community partners. 

At Homework Help, students in kindergarten through grade 12 can get help with their homework, as well as read and play learning enrichment games with trained volunteer tutors. They can just drop in and don’t need an appointment or any special supplies. 

The Library will continue to offer virtual one-on-one tutoring through Tutor.com seven days a week, as well as many other learning resources. Students can access virtual tutoring with their Library card or Library Link account at tutor.com/spl. It’s easy to access and you can get help with any subject or even a writing project! 

Those who need help with any Library resources, call 206.386.4636. An interpreter will also be available. For more information, email or chat with a Library staff member at spl.org/Ask.
