Homework Help

It's 9:00 on a Sunday night.

You're working on your math homework and you're stuck. You're learning something new in class -- trigonometry, calculus, algebra, whatever -- and you just don't get it.

What can you do?

Thanks to your Library and Tutor.com, the help you need is just a mouse click or two away. Just come to this blog and click on the Tutor.com link on the right. Enter the barcode number off the back of your library card and you'll be connected with a certified instructor who can help you.

This service is offered free of charge to all cardholders grades 4-12, seven days a week from 3:00 pm to 10:00 pm. Subjects covered are math, science, social studies or English. (Spanish-speaking tutors are available for math and science questions Sunday through Thursday from 3:00 pm to 9:00 pm.)

Note that there are some basic system requirements to use this service (you can see those here: http://www.jacksonvillelibrary.com/tutor.htm); but most newer computers (those running Windows XP or above, or Mac OSX) will already have what you need.

The library offers a lot of free services to help you with your homework and general study needs. If you have any questions about the services listed under "Homework Helpers", feel free to leave us a comment, drop us an e-mail, or give us a call. We're happy to set you up with the help you need to succeed.

See you at the library!
