Library Rolls Out New Databases -

Want to listen to the words of important people from America's past or watch historic video clips? Can't get to the library to pick up a test book you need to apply for that new job? Working on a report for high school or college and need better information than what you're finding on the web? Several new library databases allow you to do quality history and science research, read professionally-selected articles, and take sample tests online all from the comfort of your home. To access any of these databases, you'll need to have your library card and PIN handy when you visit the library's web site at www.hbpl.org. Just click on "Catalog" to begin!
