You Can Find Everything Online These Days, Right?
No. But you can find a lot more if you have free access to some expensive databases through your public library.
Roeliff Jansen patrons have unlimited access to subscription newspapers, thousands of magazine and journal articles and great special interest resources. You will need your 14-digit library card barcode number to access everything in the Mid-Hudson Library System.
Databases include Mango Languages, Practice Tests (GED, SAT, Civil Service, Vocational, Military and more), College Prep Tools, Heritage Quest, Chilton Auto Repair Guides, Homework Support, and Career Tools.
