There’s Google chat, Facebook chat, AOL instant messaging, Yahoo! messenger and the list goes on when it comes to instant help at your fingertips. Add teenagers into the mix and consider the combo peanut butter and jelly.
And when it’s time to do homework at the Braun house in Savage, mom Sandy has no problem with her Prior Lake High School children Jake, a freshman, and Leigh, a sophomore, going online and chatting.
As long as they’re logged onto Homework Rescue, a free, online live one-on-one instant messaging tutor offered through the library and can be accessed remotely.
Homework Rescue is available at www.scott.lib.mn.us under the online references collection daily from 1-11 p.m. for free by using a library identification number. About 100 metro area libraries are part of the Metropolitan Library Services Agency (MELSA), which financially supports the program.
