Back to school with Tutor.com PDF Print

It is time to head back to school!  Do you know about Tutor.com? This service, available 2-9 pm, 7 days a week, connects you with a real live tutor who can help with homework, including math, social studies, science and other subjects.  The tutors won't give you the answers, but they'll provide guidance to help you get started or out of a rough spot. The online tutoring session allows for instant messages, web browsing and file sharing with the tutor.  Everyone can use this service from within the library, but if you would like to use Tutor.com from home, you'll need your Vernon Area Public Library District card.  You'll find a link to Tutor.com on our Homework Help page

 
Create a work of art and take a picture! PDF Print

 This weekend we passed out bags of miscellaneous craft supplies and asked you to create a work of art.  Here's what Claire made...a flag for her imagined country of Claire Land! If you would like your artwork featured, take a photo and send it to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and we'll post it on our Flickr account.  Get ready...get set, and start your imagination! 

If you didn't pick up a bag but still want to participate, make a creation using items found around your house (cotton balls, straws, bits of string, etc.) and send us your photo!
