School Libraries

You're school has a cool thing called the library; some people may be afraid to enter this place full of mysterious books but there is no reason to hesitate! If you ask your librarian or library assistant, you will be amazed at the amount of help they can provide. The library and those familiar with it can show you a lot of easy resources for your research and can cut down the time that you spend struggling to find resources by a lot. Most libraries have print resources (books and journals) and internet access with prescriptions to Research databases; other libraries may be fortunate enough to have microfilm of original documents and other helpful sources. If the school library does not have something you are looking for, you can send for an interlibrary loan where your source will be sent from another library. The possibilities are endless!

If you have yet to learn about the resources available in your library, hop on in and meet with the librarian or beg your English teacher to schedule a class tour.

  1. What about my city library? Would it have similar resources and a librarian that can help?
