Home Access to the Public Library Magazine & Newspaper database, supported by NOVEL: the New York Online Virtual Electronic Library

If you have a Public Library Card, you can access the many resources of the Public Library online. Go to http://midhudson.org/alpha.html and click on the link to your home library.

Once there, you click on the "Home Access," link, then type your 14-digit library card number without spaces in the box provided (if requested), then press "Submit". This will bring you to a choice of databases (organized information) that include newspapers, magazines and reference sources with information that will appeal to your curiosity and help you with reports, projects, lessons and classes.  

Mid-Hudson Library System Online EntranceLifelines Link

http://www.midhudson.org/lifelines/ is a website with homework resources selected for parents and librarians to help students in grades K-12. The site is divided into two sections: one for K-4 subject areas (http://www.midhudson.org/lifelines/lifelines1/default.htm) and the other for grades 5-12 curriculum areas (http://www.midhudson.org/lifelines/lifelines2/default.htm).

School and public librarians and teachers identified the subject areas as being the ones most widely taught in New York State. Within each area there are links to magazine, newspaper and encyclopedia articles, related websites and local history, where applicable. All the articles and websites are age-appropriate, either for younger children or those in the upper grades.

In addition, the public libraries serving our school district now have a new online catalog, located at http://gigcat.midhudson.org/ where anyone with a library card for the Mid-Hudson Library System can search for and order books to be delivered to the local library of their choice.

Wish List

Do you have a birthday coming up? Would you like to recognize a special person or event? You can participate in our Add-a-Book Program. Using the Wish List at Amazon.com, you can choose a book to give to the Library. You can purchase the book from anywhere you like. (I like going to a bookstore and personally seeing and feeling the books.) When you find one you like, purchase it (hardcover, please!) and bring it to Mrs. Grey. I will put a bookplate inside the book with your name and the special event or person you are honoring. You or the honoree may be the first to check it out!
