AMPSTEAD — The Hampstead Public Library is pleased to offer a new online educational resource for its cardholders. Brainfuse HelpNow is unique tutoring, homework help, and studying suite designed to assist patrons of all ages to succeed. In addition to live tutoring, students in kindergarten through college can access a writing lab, skill-building tools, “send question” services, collaborative learning, and academic and standardized test prep.
With Brainfuse, adults have career resources, resume writing assistance, Microsoft Office help, live tutoring, and more.
Other cool HelpNow tools are FlashBulb™ to create and share flashcards, eParachute where you can discover the college majors and careers that match your skills and interests, and FAFSA Live Help filling out your application.
Library cardholders can access all this by computer, tablet, or smartphone. Look for Brainfuse in both the Learn and Research (eResource) sections of HampsteadLibrary.org, or ask a librarian.
