Homework Help Center

Smiling adult helping a student with homework

The Homework Help Center is a community resource that serves the entire Pickerington Local School District. Unlike tutoring services which provide one-on-one help in specific subject areas, the Library’s Homework Help service supports students by ensuring they are able to complete specific work assigned by their classroom teachers.

Library staff and volunteers are knowledgeable in guiding students through homework assignments in many subjects and grade levels. If the subject material is beyond the knowledge of staff and volunteers, or students need more individual assistance than we can provide, we can direct them to additional Homework Resources for more help.

In-house Resources

The following resources are available through the Homework Help Center:

  • Free printing for school assignments available in person or curbside
  • School supplies (colored pencils, glue, scissors, etc.) 
  • Chromebooks, laptops and graphing calculators 
  • Counting chips and flashcards 
  • ACT, SAT, and AP test prep guides 
  • Copies of most PLSD required reading books 
  • Review guides for most subject areas
