Great Resources For Teens

March 08, 2011

Working at the library has opened my mind to so many new resources. Being a senior in high school, I've been busy writing papers all year long. I was writing a research paper for school earlier this semester, and my topic was "the negative effects of texting on society." While chatting with some of my co-workers, they brought up the Research Databases that the library has to offer online. I had no idea that the library could have such a thing, but I was able to get a ton of information and my research paper was a huge success. Since there was a requirement of 2 books sources on the paper also, I was able to get my books at MCPL as well. I think sometimes teenagers overlook the library as a huge source for many school projects, whether it's a book, or an online database. Schools should incorporate MCPL in their computer database system as one of the top choices, and encourage other teens to take advantage of the great resources the library has to offer!
