The Marlborough District Library has come to the rescue.  Staff at the Homework Zones at the Blenheim and Picton Libraries are on standby after school, from Monday to Friday, to help you find the information you need to keep you -and your teachers- happy.

If you can't get to the library and you need information, check out these websites. But remember that anyone can put anything on the internet. Check your sources and make sure your websites are reputable. Websites with the words '.edu' (educational) and '.ac' (academic) in their domain names (website addresses) can usually be trusted.
