Every California can access a free online tutoring program for homework help and skill resources thanks to a statewide pilot led by the California State Library, which is backed by a $254 million state grant.
Available 24/7, the real-time tutoring program can assist students with homework questions in core K-12 subjects like math and language arts. The program holds no age limit, and it also provides writing assistance, citizenship help and other tools to adult learners.
Homework assistant will come from state cirriculum-familiar tutors from Brainfuse’s “HelpNow,” and is accessible on the websites of any local public library website.
“Not every family can afford a private tutor. Now through the CA State Library Brainfuse HelpNow program, every Californian can get free online tutoring. HelpNow tutors will assist all learners from Kindergartners on up build thinking and problem-solving skills. Tutors work with students through their homework challenges, and guide them to the right solution, without giving the answer,” said Brainfuse Library Services Director Jack Rothstein said in a statement.
The funds are a part of the state’s larger $429 million grant project — the largest investment in public libraries in California’s history — which is aimed to improve the 1,130 local public libraries found around the state.
In this first round of funding, 234 projects will receive amounts ranging from $14,300 to $10 million to make local libraries overall safe and accessible spaces for the communities they serve. Priority was given to the state’s libraries needing critical renovations — things like installing heat and cooling systems, implementing security and improving seismic safety.
“With historic investments to give the youngest Californians a strong start in life, enrich our schools and expand supports like tutoring, we’re building on our commitment to create more opportunities for every child in our state to thrive, “said Newsom in a statement. “Public libraries are the hearts of communities across the state and our hubs of learning, discovery, and oftentimes – safety.”
Great to have a tutoring program but STOP touting them as “free” because they are not.
Hope the tutoring is better than the grammar in the first two words.
Nothing is free.

Well, it is free to the people who manage to never pay taxes but still live fairly comfortably off the taxes of everyone else who is more responsible.
Besides upgrading the HVAC and plumbing, install real sensitive metal detectors and gate detectors that can detect bad odors!!
Issue pepper spray to all authorized library personnel.
