EXCITING NEWS!
All students have accounts through the St. Charles County Library! Not only can students check out up to five items from the physical public library, but they also have access to ALL of their databases! To access these, students will go to the public library's website: mylibrary.org. From there, they can choose the eResources tab to see their options and choose the resource they want to use!
Some of my favorites are Sora, Flipster, Hoopla, and Kanopy. I also use the databases!
