Tutor.com and more

Many of you have used our tutor.com service. For those of you who don’t know, it is an online tutor service available in English in Spanish for grades K to 12, 3-10 p.m. daily. To access it, go to our library webpage at www.rogersarkansas.com/library and select “homework help.” You may also select the “tutor.com” link on the teen blog (on the left, scroll down). Then enter your 12 digit library card number (the number on the back of your card, no spaces), and your 4 digit password. If you don’t know your password, stop by the library and they’ll give you a new one. Then chose your grade and the subject you wish to be helped on. It’s very cool to use. Try it out sometime!

Don’t forget the YAAC meeting Saturday at 11. We have some end of the year changes coming soon; get your word in on them! They’ll be the Anime club at noon as well.

Finally, tell your friends who are crazy for Stephenie Meyer, we’re having a Party in anticipation of the Twilight movie this coming Thursday (Nov. 13) instead of movie night. So no movie next week, but fans of the books are all invited.
