eResources at Your Fingertips, 24/7

As a busy working mom, I am always looking for things to make my to-do list easier. That’s why I always have the Sno-Isle Libraries website bookmarked on my phone and computer.
Within seconds, I have access to an astounding number of resources online. Like logging on to Consumer Reports Online while I’m trying to make a decision on a car seat for my toddler, or a picking out a new washing machine out of the too-many choices I’m staring at in the store. I can browse articles on health or research information from my recent doctor’s visit using Consumer Health Complete. Or I can look for a good book to read or the next title in my current series with Novelist Plus. All from the comfort of my home, or from a waiting room, or in line at the grocery store. Anywhere and anytime I have access to the internet, I have access to Sno-Isle’s eResources 24/7.
What’s better than saving time and money? Sharing your knowledge with your friends! That’s why I’m always sure to mention our HelpNow in our Homework Help section, which provides online live tutoring help, to my friends who have kids in school. Or letting friends who are travelling know about Mango Languages where they can learn a new language before their voyage—for free!
Because knowledge really is power, and so is your library card.

You can access the resources mentioned, as well as many other eResources by visiting http://www.sno-isle.org, and clicking on Databases & Research. If you are accessing these from outside of the library, you’ll be asked to enter a valid library card # and PIN. If you have any questions, feel free to contact your local library.
