The Shelter Island Public Library is offering free access to homework help, with residents able to access “Brainfuse.”

The program provides live tutors via Livebrary.com/study-homework from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day of the week.

Brainfuse, one of the nation’s leading online tutoring providers, allows access to free homework help, including live, online tutoring and test prep in a wide range of subjects for K-12 students and adult learners.

The tutoring is available to all Shelter Island Public Library card holders at no cost. 

Library Director Terry Lucas noted, “We’re happy to support the students of Shelter Island with this incredible resource. The pandemic has made learning more challenging than ever and we hope this will help the students, parents and teachers meet their educational goals.” 

To access Brainfuse, go to the library’s website at silibrary.org and scroll down to the online resources.
