Time for School

School starts again today for most Monticello students, and I hope everyone gets off to a great start. I want to remind everyone that we're here to help at Allerton Library. We have lots of great books and other resources to help kids with homework assignments. We also have some research tools online that people can get to from home with an Allerton library card. Kids will especially want to look at our World Book Online for state reports, animal information, games, and more.

To get to World Book Online, start at our website at www.monticellolibrary.org. Click on Online Resources. Then click World Book. Then you'll be asked for your library card number, which you should type in without any spaces or dashes.

There are three versions of World Book for you to choose from. World Book Online for Kids will be best for younger students (K-4). World Book Online Info Finder is best for middle grades (4-7). World Book Online Reference Center is most helpful to the oldest students (grades 8+.) (The age ranges aren't definites; they're just to give you a general idea.)

If you need help, we're always happy to explain something while we're open. You can also send me an email at klawson.allerton@gmail.com. I can also help with general research questions if you're not finding what you need at World Book.
