The Bell Has Rung: Back to School 2007

That time of the year has arrived once again, school. For many, it's a welcome time of year while for others, it is simply dreaded. Whatever the case may be, Pickering Public Library can help make back to school time more relaxing and enjoyable for students of all ages whether it be public school, high school or college and university.

Time for a pop quiz. Name a word that begins with the letter H, and sends shivers down the spines of many students? Answer: HOMEWORK. No need to worry as Pickering Public Library has many materials to help students with doing their homework as well as study skills if you are preparing for that tough test that's just around the corner. Pickering Public Library also has materials on just about every subject under the sun from English to math to history and science.

If doing research for that upcoming term paper or book report is what you are after, Pickering Public Library has got you covered. The quickest, easiest, and most effective way of gathering materials for your research needs is to use one of our many research databases.

One of the advantages of using research databases is that they often contain timely and up-to-date articles and information on recent events, something not possible with books, which take time to write, edit and publish. Our research databases also include many subject specific databases such as Literature Resource Centre, good for writing that critique on a famous literary work, Biography Resource Centre, good for doing research on the lives of well known persons, and many others. There are even encyclopedias and dictionaries as well as a multi-subject database for K-8 kids. Just visit our research databases page to get started or phone 905-831-6265 for more information.
