Programming
Here at the Basehor Community Library, we are always looking for ways to serve the homeschool community. We understand that it can be hard to find programs that tailor to your unique schedule. That is why we created this catalog so you can know the kinds of programs we can put on for your family or homeschool co-op.
From silly Story-Times and laid-back LEGO Clubs to studies of Tolkien and the Bard. We have children’s programs for everyone! All you have to do is pick a program and then fill out the form below which will be sent to staff members at the library. Then, we can work together to organize the program at a time that works for both your homeschool group and library staff.
Please see details for these programs that can be scheduled below.
