Use the Free Homework Help!

A few years ago, Delaware County started offering FREE Live Homework Help to all library card holders. With a library card and internet connection, you can use it anywhere! It is for everyone in grades K-12 (and even your first year in college) and it is now open 24/7. You can get help in your core subject areas of Math, Science, Social Studies, Writing, and English.

Try it out for yourself! Pretend you have trouble with a question from your homework. This will help you learn how it works for when you have a real problem. Also, take a second and show it to your parents or other adult so they know it's safe for you to use.

I always talk about this service when I do school visits, and I heard last week that one of the 6th graders actually went home and tried it like I suggested. Except that she pretended to be a Kindergartener who couldn't figure out how to add 9 + 3! The tutor told her to draw 9 circles, then 3 circles, then count them all. Hilarious, but educational if she had actually been a Kindergartener. The tutors won't give you free answers, but they will help you really learn how to do it yourself.
