Parenting, Education, & Homeschool Resources

Our parenting collection is located in the Children’s Library near the play area. This collection contains books and materials useful to caregivers, educators, and homeschoolers. Topics in the area include pregnancy and birth, stages of development, feeding, sleep, potty training, behavior management, special needs, homeschool and more. 

In addition, we have many picture books and informational books located within our general children’s collection that can be read with children about the topics above as well as many others. Also take a look at our Online Resources page for teaching aids and an Online Encyclopedia.

If you are planning a trip to the library with your child, please check out our social story to learn what to expect and to help your child become more comfortable before your visit. HAPL Social Story
