Princeton Public Library will stay open late, offering tutors, homework help and pizza to high school students studying for final examinations.
The popular Crunch Time program will return to the library for 7 to 10 p.m. sessions on Wednesday and Thursday.
Tutors from Springboard, the library’s after-school homework help program, will be available to answer last-minute questions, repeat instruction and lend a hand to students at Crunch Time. After the rest of the library closes at 9 p.m., pizza and soda will be available to the high school students preparing for finals.
Recognized by the American Library Association as a national model of excellence in after-school programming for young adults, Springboard is staffed by paid teachers and community volunteers, including educators and students from Princeton University and Princeton High School.
This will be the 16th edition of late night study sessions at the library and Jan Johnson, manager of the Youth Services Department, said that in the past as many as 40 or 50 students have attended each night. Teachers have also arranged review sessions with their students at the library.
During the school year, Springboard tutors are available for homework help at the library from 3:30 to 6 p.m. every Monday through Thursday that Princeton Regional Schools are in session. The library also offers a free online tutoring.
