Partnership with Attleboro Public Library - Additional FREE TUTORING
Attleboro Public Library Launches On-Demand, Anywhere Online Tutoring for All Learners
Includes online tutoring for all levels of learners from children through adults
Attleboro Public Library is pleased to announce the launch of Brainfuse Helpnow – on demand, anytime, anywhere eLearning for all ages and levels. Brainfuse HelpNow™ provides differentiated learning solutions for users of diverse needs and backgrounds. Students communicate with live tutors using an interactive whiteboard to chat, write, draw, copy/paste text or images and graph homework problems. HelpNow™ will be available to all Attleboro Public Library patrons from the public computers at the library (when open to the public) or from any home or school computer with internet connection. To access, students must have an Attleboro library card in good standing. The library card number and PIN number (usually the last four digits of their phone number) is needed to log on to Brainfuse HelpNow, then students create an account so they can interact with the services offered by Brainfuse HelpNow. If a student does not have a library card, they may register for a temporary card using this link. If they have a card, but it is blocked or expired, they can call 508-222-0157 and library staff can work with them to resolve the issue.
