Registration is required. Space is limited.

Struggling in class? Join the personalized peer tutoring group, Learning Lounge, at the Barbara Bush Branch Library!

Each session features a mix of relaxing and engaging activities like puzzles, a creative hands-on project, and a group game to get everyone thinking and laughing. If you'd like extra help with schoolwork, you can sign up for one-on-one tutoring with a friendly peer tutor and head to a separate table for focused support.
Get help from fellow students, explore new topics, and walk away ready to ace your next semester.
