Homework Help

The library is partnering with the Rutgers University Division of Diversity, Inclusion, and Community Engagement to offer Homework Help appointments for any students in grades Pre-K through 12 who need help with their assignments. Appointments are strongly encouraged, but walk-ins will be welcome if/when time allows. To schedule an appointment or for any questions, please call the Teen Room at 732-745-5108 x22 or the Reference Desk at 732-745-5108 x20.

The Spring 2025 schedule will run from January 28 to May 1 (excluding the week of March 17), with one-hour appointments held during the following times:

  • Tuesdays at 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m.
  • Thursdays at 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m.

The Division of Diversity, Inclusion, and Community Engagement leads efforts that advance and advocate for inclusiveness, diversity, and equity at Rutgers University–New Brunswick.


The Children's Room also offers Drop-In Homework Help for students in grades K-6 at certain times. This service was initially provided solely by a Middlesex College Bonner student, and has been expanded with the addition of drop-in hours by Rutgers students. As of March 24, 2025, the schedule for this service is as follows:

  • Mondays: 4:00 p.m. - 8:45 p.m.
  • Tuesdays: 4:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.
  • Wednesdays: 4:00 p.m. - 8:45 p.m.
  • Thursdays: 4:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.
