The Redondo Beach Pubic Library offers students many great (and FREE) resources that can be accessed from any computer with an internet connection. Students just need a Redondo Beach Public Library Card number to get free online Homework Help from a live tutor using Live Homework Help (grades 4 & up), to download biographical information and photos from Biography Resource Center, and to figure out which book to read next based on books already read using Novelist for K-8. Also available: events for children and families; reading lists for school-age children.
