We are kicking off another school year with our monthly series called "Database Spotlights" where we will highlight one of our databases, specifically focusing on youth and families. Do you want support when it comes to Homework Help? Are you looking to build your research skills? Let us share the wonders of our Digital Library with you and your family! Learn about some of our online databases that you can access for free with your library card.
As our students and teachers head back into the classroom in some shape or form, "Infoplease" is a free library database you're going to want to know about. Infoplease is a reference and learning site, combining the contents of an encyclopedia, a dictionary, an atlas and several almanacs loaded with facts. With a library card, you can access the variety that this site has to offer, including browsable subjects, interactive quizzes to brush up on topics, and a "Daily IQ" section that offers a daily dose of fun and interesting facts and news. This database is best suited for Grades 3-12 to support homework help and research building needs. Caregivers and Educators can also use this site to promote daily learning in or out of the classroom with the Daily IQ Newsletter subscription. Let Infoplease support your school curriculum and encourage curious learners! You can access this database by heading to www.handleyregional.org > Research & Learn > Homework Help. Happy Learning!
