    Library Info : Meet the staff, find out hours, policies, fines, and services.

    Online Resources : From here you can connect to our online research databases (Encyclopedia Britannica, EBSCO, InfoTrac-Gale Group, African American Studies Center, World and I, and Webster's Dictionary). These databases provide information from magazines, newspapers, encyclopedias and much more. Home access will require passwords so you will need to ask a librarian.

    Cool Stuff : This page contains links to "cool" websites like National Geographic, M&M's Homepage, Ben & Jerry's, Internet Hoaxes and many more. Let me know if you find a "cool" site and maybe we will add the link to this page.
