Parent? Teacher?

Have we got good news for you!

A new school year is upon us, and Sno-Isle Libraries has an entire web page of resources for parents and teachers and the children you care about.

How many teachers are aware of Assignment Alert? Let Sno-Isle librarians help you gather materials for your students’ projects. All we need is for you to fill out the form indicating your needs – books, databases, other resources -- and give us some time to fulfill your request!

Clicking on HelpNow directs you to the BrainFuse online tutoring center. Here K-12 students can take advantage of the trained and vetted tutors 7 days a week until 10:00 p.m., as well as many other services such as the writing lab – students submit a file of their paper and it is critiqued and returned within 24 hours!

Parents can find suggestions for selecting books for their children as well. The Homework Help page also has links to librarian-created booklists, tips for locating books of a certain reading level, and helpful information about keeping kids safe on the Internet.

So let us help you with your homework – click on Homework Help in the “Research” box on the left margin of the Sno-Isle home page,Sno-Isle home page, and start exploring!
