The Washington County Cooperative Library Services (WCCLS) last week announced the launch of Brainfuse — an on-demand, anytime, anywhere eLearning platform for all ages and levels.

All Washington County library card holders have free access to the service.

Brainfuse HelpNow offers personalized homework help in core subjects (math, reading, writing, science and social studies), as well as SAT preparation. Washington County library cardholders may connect with live tutors online from 2 to 11 p.m., Monday through Sunday.

While HelpNow is designed to be particularly helpful to school-aged students, it also includes a variety of college preparatory materials.

“WCCLS is pleased to provide online tutoring and a variety of other homework help features through HelpNow as part of the Cooperative’s levy promise of school support,” said Bryce Kozla, youth services librarian, in a press release.

The cooperative has libraries in the following Washington County communities: Aloha, Banks, Beaverton, Cedar Mill, Cornelius, Forest Grove, Garden Home, Hillsboro, North Plains, Sherwood, Tigard, Tualatin and West Slope.

Access to the Brainfuse interactive suite is available through the website. Visit wccls.org/brainfusehomework to learn more and get started.
