Introducing Two New Databases!

Two new databases have been added to our library's electronic collection.  One is called FreedomFlix and the other is a suite of six databases called Scholastic Go!


FreedomFlix is a collection of eBooks about American History from the best-selling Cornerstones of Freedom series. The database truly brings history to life with primary source audio and videoclips, virtual tours, maps, and timelines.


The award-winning, curriculum-aligned resources in Scholastic Go! include:
Two general reference resources:
  • The New Book of Knowledge
  • The Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia
Two science intensive resources:
  • Amazing Animals of the World
  • The New Book of Popular Science
Two Social Studies intensive resources:
  • America the Beautiful
  • Lands and Peoples
Click on the Online Databases tab above to take a look!  All library databases may be accessed from my library specialist webpage or from the library catalog!
