Exam Time & Study Help
The bright days of summer break are almost here—but first come the final projects, papers, and exams before the end of another school year. Students: need a quiet spot to cram for finals or space for group study? Burlington Public Library is ready for you!
Exam Cram Study Hall runs at all branches from June 19 to 27 during regular open hours. We have extra seating, tables, treats, and puppy breaks for high school students. It’s a busy time of year at the library, so all visitors can expect more noise and activity at our locations.
Need to relax? Take a look at our latest booklist to calm your mind: Stress Less During Exam Season.
And when your studies have you stumped, help is at hand with our Brainfuse HelpNow online resource. All you need is your BPL card number and four-digit PIN to access live tutoring help.
