Portable DVD Players

http://www.220-electronics.com/portable/coby7100.jpgDid you know that you can now check out Portable DVD Players from the Library?

The check-out length is a week, the same as a DVD.  It even comes with a case that enables you to hang it between the front car seats so that everyone in the backseat can watch a movie!

So maybe you’re going somewhere the Labor Day weekend and are going to have a long car trip?  Checking out a Portable DVD Player from the library plus some movies would be a great way to pass the time!

Just ask at the front desk!

Online Tutoring – Brainfuse at the Library

So school is back in session.  And a new school year means new homework and things to learn.

Are you finding you need a little extra help?  Why not try some online tutoring?

The Library subscribes to a program called Brainfuse, where you can get live, online help with grades k-12 in math, science, social studies and English/language arts.

You chat with a tutor to ask a question, use an interactive, online chalkboard to get help with geometry or equations, or submit a paper to their writing lab and get helpful feedback via email.  There are also skills building lessons, practice tests, and a language lab.

Give it a try today!  Come in to the library and access Brainfuse on our computers, or try it through our website by visiting our database page.
