Student-Focused Database Offered to Patrons of St. Martin Parish Public Library
The 2016-17 school year is right around the corner! St. Martin Parish Library would like to remind all card holders of available FREE access to homework help through the HomeworkLouisiana database! HomeworkLouisiana is a free educational service that connects Louisiana K-12 students, adults preparing for the GED and college students to a live tutor online for one-on-one help with homework. It also offers studying and test preparation in all core academic subjects including math, science, social studies and English. The tutors work with students (and parents!) in kindergarten through 12th grade and even AP level class work and intro-level college coursework. Connecting with a tutor is easy. You just need a library card and a computer or mobile device with internet access.
Don’t get frustrated and don’t stay stuck. Instead, log on to HomeworkLouisiana through St. Martin Parish Library’s website, www.stmartinparishlibrary.org, and get help needed with coursework.
