NEW Encyclopedia Britannica - In Print AND Online!

The library has purchased the latest edition of Encyclopedia Britannica - in print and ONLINE!

The print version will be on the shelves in the reference section soon, and the ONLINE version is available NOW. You can access the online version in the library, or at home (with your valid library card number). The online version also includes free access to Britannica Kids, which is perfect for homework assignments through grade 6 (or so). The link to Britannica Kids is in the upper right corner of the Britannica homepage.

We hope to have the links up on our library homepage soon, but in the meantime, you can access the encyclopedia both in the library and from home using the links in the sidebar of this blog.
