How can we support you?
Mono County Libraries Youth Program Manager is available to set-up partnerships with local local schools as well as to support local students with after-school programs.
Library Resources
TeachingBooks.net - A valuable platform for students, teachers and parents that consolidates a wealth of information about children's and young adult titles, authors, author interviews, as well as information for reading assignments and book reports. As a resident of California, you should have free, direct access to this site.
Digital databases -- see the Homework Zone page to access the bundle of Proquest databases made available through the CA K-12 Online project, funded in part by the CA State Library. Some databases require a library card number to access. Need a library card? Pass by your local library to get one for free today!
FREE, online tutoring & homework help -- Brainsfuse Helpnow offers a writing lab, live tutoring, a language lab, a forum to submit any academic questions as well as digital studying tools. Find the link under our Quick Links or on the Homework Zone page on the Programs menu, or click here for direct access.
