Abstract: This paper examines the choices that Stow Public Library in Stow, Ohio made to respond to the needs of home schoolers. Home schooling is when parents choose to educate their children at home instead of following the traditional method of educating them at public or private schools. The objective of this research is to create a model of potential services and programs for public libraries to use when creating services and programs for home schoolers, and to evaluate this model by doing a case study of Stow Public Library's home schooling services. Services and programs in the model include: providing a positive and helpful attitude; files with state laws and regulations about home schooling; lists of relevant organizations, of contacts within the local public schools, of people willing to provide tours or act as speakers; handouts specifying services, equipment and book lists available to the home schooler; bibliographies; space for displays done by home schooled children; the librarian attending the meetings of the home schooling organization; the librarian giving presentations on using the computer catalog or databases; author/illustrator studies; story hours; setting up a volunteer aides program; providing access to career materials; and a well-rounded collection.
