By the City Council’s vote on April 19th, 2022, all overdue fees past, present and future have been eliminated and are no longer on patron’s library accounts. Library fees will still be charged for replacement and processing of lost items, damages to materials, not picking up a held item, interlibrary loans, and replacement cards, in addition to service fees for printing and getting additional computer use time.

Homework Help

Both Main and South Oxnard Branch Libraries offer virtual and in-person appointments. Please see the graphics above to find contact info to request these.

In addition, at South Oxnard Branch Library, we offer walk-in hours:

Mondays: 5-7pm
Tuesdays: 5-7pm
Wednesdays: 4-5pm
Thursdays: 4-5pm

Between 6/20/22 and 8/25/22, the South Oxnard Branch Library Homework Center will be open to walk-ins for adjusted summer walk-in hours: Mondays 3-5pm, Tuesday 3-5pm, Wednesdays 2-3pm, Thursday 2-3pm. Virtual and in-person appointments will still be available during the summer.

The Main library is only offering homework help sessions by appointment, either in-person or virtual. This is due to current staffing levels.

Please note that we can only help with specific questions on homework assignments given by teachers to students K-12 and that we do not offer formal tutoring of a subject where staff give lessons and worksheets to complete to improve understanding of a particular subject area. For tutors of this type, please contact a librarian to find one in your area.
