Homework Help



Looking for help with your homework?  Try out the databases below. 


“But what’s a database?”


What a great question!  It’s a fancy way of saying ‘a bundle of digital stuff, like articles, photos, maps and more.’  This information is gathered together by subject.


Databases are perfect to use when you’re writing a report, because all of that info comes from reliable sources, like the dictionaries, encyclopedias and reference books. 


Just click on the link your interested in below.  If you’re outside the library, you’ll have to log in with your library card number and pin.  Happy researching!

You all know it as AR.  Are you at a loss?  Can't find a good book?  If you go to a Lee County Public School, you can test on any of the books on the "Universal List."  Click on either of the links below to search for AR books.  If you go to a private or charter school that doesn't use the "Univeral List," check with your local branch or your school media specialist to find some good AR reads. For answers to all of your AR questions, go to our AR page.
