Tutors
The Bronxville Public Library (the “Library”) welcomes tutors and students and recognizes the benefit to the students and parents of the community of permitting tutoring within the Library.
The following procedures are intended to provide a balance between the use of the Library by tutors and their students and the use of the Library by other members of the community.
