TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) â Diann Schultz is a bit of a bookworm. She drives to the LeRoy Collins Library at least once a week looking to dive into a new adventure.
âOh, I usually have about eight or ten checked out at a time, said Schultz.
Schultz is just one of the thousands of Leon County residents who have a library card. These shelves, packed with stories in the form of books, DVDs, CDs, and even tablets for kids.

Students can now get free help with homework via Zoom through the Leon County Public Library System.
Leon County has launched Homework Hub, a new online educational resource. Homework Hub is a free after-school program offered through the Leon County Public Library System. It pairs students from kindergarten through 8th grade with tutors in a one-on-one environment via Zoom. Virtual education can play an important part in helping our children realize their full potential, says Leon County Commission Chairman Rick Minor. “The pandemic created new challenges for our children and schools, but Homework Hub will help bridge gaps by providing students accessible homework support in an environment focused on encouragement and success.”
