New resources available for library patrons
As many Rappahannock County families go back to work and back to school this fall, the Rappahannock County Library announced a handful of new resources available to the community.
The library now offers digital resources for students, jobseekers, and military veterans. These digital subscriptions, courtesy of the Library of Virginia, are available to library cardholders during operating hours, or by visiting the library’s website (https://rappahannocklibrary.org) on their own devices.
Brainfuse HelpNow provides online tutoring for students in grades K-college. Students are able to receive help with homework, submit questions, access free resources and lessons, interact with a live tutor (available from 2:00 p.m.-11:00 p.m.), form online study groups, create flashcards, practice standardized tests online, send papers to a writing lab, and more.
The HelpNow Suite is designed to help students succeed. Experts and resources are available in a wide range of subjects including math, science, reading, history, and more. All subjects are available in both English and Spanish.
Brainfuse JobNow provides career assistance to jobseekers in any field. Jobseekers can search for a job, take career assessments, download resume templates, send resumes to a resume lab, prepare for interviews, prepare for career certification, and get personalized feedback from live job coaches.
Brainfuse VetNow offers veteran support tools, career assistance, and academic tutoring for veterans and their families. Users can connect with an expert to find out more about Veterans Affairs benefits, get live help with job searching, create and edit resumes, and connect with live tutors for help in various subjects.
Library goers can also access a screen free, no internet connection required, resource for children with Dial-A-Story, provided by the Library of Virginia and librarians across the state. Dial (833)-690-0646 from any phone and listen to the week’s story. Story genres/topics vary each week. The book is available all day, every day, with titles changing each Wednesday. All are read in English or Spanish in five minutes or less.
Please see the library website, https://rappahannocklibrary.org, or contact librarians to take advantage of these new resources or ask if they can help with any existing library resources.
