WEEKEND RESEARCH COACHING IN JANUARY, FEBRUARY and MARCH, 2012

Volunteers are available to help History Fair students with their research every Saturday and Sunday though March 3, 2012, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m.

• Harold Washington Library: Meet on the sixth floor in the room behind the librarian's desk open to the public.

If you don't see a volunteer, be sure to ask the CPL librarians:  they are happy to help students!

The History Fair Research Journey presentation helps to visualize the kinds of research students need to do to make history.  See samples of diverse sources and the places to find them!
