Spotlight of Databases: Education

The Education room on the NCLS Catalog is a great resource for students and adults alike. Whether it's a 4th grader needing help on homework or a stay-at-home mom looking for information on how to apply for financial aid for grad school, your library has the resources to help meet ALL of your patron's educational needs.

 

 Did you know that your patrons have access to Civil Service and GED practice exams?  All they need is their library card to access dozens of test prep materials.

Do you serve Spanish speaking patrons?  La Nueva Enciclopedia Cumbre is a comprehensive reference resource available to Spanish speakers and language students.

If you are unfamiliar with these (or other) educational databases, take a few minutes and check them out!

PBS Community Chest

Thank you to everyone who donated items for the Community Chest that will benefit the local PBS station.  The chest was overflowing with books, toys, games and crafts provided by 17 of our member libraries.  PBS staff were thrilled and impressed by your generosity!  If you weren't one of the libraries who donated, please consider sending in materials for next year's chest.  The chest will be auctioned off on the local PBS station at 8pm on Saturday April 27th.  Thanks again to those who contributed!
