Online Homework Help

Live Homework Help

The Library has offered on-line tutoring for three years with partial funding from a California State Library grant. 
Since the Library is no longer part of the State Grant program, tutor.com is pricing their service according to usage and population and raised the Library's cost 400%.  Like most public agencies, the Library is experiencing deep budget cuts and we have no funds for this service.  We have explored other vendors and other avenues for funding but conclude that we will not be able to continue on-line homework assistance. 

This service for South San Francisco library patrons ended June 30, 2009. 

Ayuda de Tareas en LíneaLa biblioteca ha ofrecido ayuda de tareas en línea por tres años con la ayuda financiera de una beca de California State Library.  Como la biblioteca ya no es parte de este programa, tutor.com esta decidiendo el precio según el uso y población, y subió el costo a la biblioteca 400%.  Como la mayoría de las agencias públicas, la biblioteca esta teniendo cortes profundos de presupuesto y no tenemos fondos para este servicio. Hemos investigado con otros vendedores y otras avenidas para financiar este servicio.  Concluimos que no podemos continuar la ayuda de tareas en línea. Este servicio terminará el 30 de junio de 2009 para patrocinadores de la Biblioteca de Sur San Francisco.
