STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. —The New York Public Library’s After School program will be back in session later this month, offering free homework help and enrichment activities to young students across the city.
The offering, a Tisch Youth Education Program, is returning on Monday, Sept. 29, and is open to students aged 6 to 12 across 52 NYPL branches. It takes place after regular school hours, Monday to Thursday, while school is in session. There will be no after school on certain holidays, such as Yom Kippur, Veterans Day and Thanksgiving, as well as during Winter Recess.
This offering is apart of NYPL’s greater education programming, which makes it the largest free education provider outside the public school system in New York City.
