*Do you have patrons wanting to know more about homeschooling? *

The Oregon Home Education Network is the state's first and largest, 
inclusive, nonprofit, volunteer-run organization, dedicated to the 
support of all of Oregon's homeschooling families. OHEN offers the 
following homeschool support services:

A free presentation by a panel of 2-3 experienced homeschoolers. This 
1.5 hour presentation consists of a general overview of homeschooling in

homeschooling resources will be given to all participants. We are 
currently scheduling Homeschooling in Oregon sessions for 2013.

We are in the process of adding libraries to our lists of local 
homeschool resources: http://www.ohen.org/oregon/links.
If your library has special resources or ongoing programs for 
homeschoolers, we would like to include that information as well.

Please let us know if there is anything that we can do to help you 
better serve the homeschoolers in your community.
