THE CHICAGO PUBLIC LIBRARY + THE CHICAGO PUBLIC LIBRARY FOUNDATION 1 HOME WORK TEACHER IN THE LIBRARY HELP the Gomez Family For the Gomez family, Chicago Public Library’s Teacher in the Library (TIL) is a family affair. Four days a week the three Gomez boys come to the Austin Irving Branch to do their homework after school. This program is made possible by generous donors to the Chicago Public Library Foundation.

“It’s a good habit,” says their dad Hugo. “The discipline keeps them on task. They get their homework done and then they are free to play outside.”

Monday through Thursday, the Gomez boys are met by Gary Yamagiwa, who works with them, and as many as 60 other students each week. Gary is one of several dozen “Gary is nice, friendly, helpful and certified teachers who make up the TIL corps.
