Students of all ages can receive help with their homework, writing a paper, studying for a test, or even one-on-one academic assistance with www.tutor.com and Mentor Public Library.

You only need your library card number and PIN to create a free account and receive the help you need, online and on demand at www.tutor.com/mentorpl. (This would be the same PIN that you use to log into your CLEVNET account. You can call Mentor Public Library at 440-255-8811, if you don’t know your PIN.)

Starting Feb. 1, tutors will be available to provide individualized help from 2 p.m. to midnight every day of the week.

You can also submit papers (including resumes) and math problems 24/7, and a tutor will review and assist with them.

Both English and Spanish-speaking tutors are available on more than 250 subjects including math, science, writing, reading comprehension, computer science, history, study and life skills, career and job planning, parent coaching, and test prep for the PSAT, SAT and ACT.

Tutor.com is available free to all Mentor Public Library cardholders thanks to a Libraries Accelerating Learning grant from the Ohio Department of Education.

Tweens and teens can explore history with some of the best graphic novels created when the new Drawn In To Graphic Novels Book Club meets at our Headlands Branch.

Each month, we’ll discuss a different historical fiction graphic novel. The first meeting is 2 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 28. We’ll talk about George Takei’s moving memoir about World War II internment camps, They Called Us Enemy. You can borrow a physical copy or an ebook on Hoopla.

Book club members will also receive their own journal where they can write, draw and share stories with the group.

It’s free to join and open to everyone from 12 to 17 years old. Sign up on our website or call our Headlands Branch at 440-257-2000.
