Homeschooling Resource

Larry Kaseman, Executive Director of the Wisconsin Parents Association, has this to say about the valued role of the public library as a resource for homeschoolers:

When patrons request information on homeschooling, it is easy for [public libraries] to refer them to Wisconsin Parents Association (WPA). WPA is a statewide, inclusive, grassroots organization that has been helping families homeschool effectively, responsibly, legally, and successfully since 1984. Because WPA is a 501 (c) (3) educational organization, public libraries can make WPA information available to patrons. The DPI refers people who request information about homeschooling to WPA.

Homeschoolers rely heavily on public libraries. We also work hard to support them, including working for increased library funding. Thank you for all you do. We look forward to continuing and strengthening our working relationship with you.
