Get Help With
Homework at Limestone Township Library District
We are back into the
groove of school days and that means projects!
No matter what the
subject, our library can help you out.
Try out the e-resources
by browsing through World Book Online. This company has four different learning
levels so that a high schooler isn’t using the same platform as their grade
school counterpart nor is a kindergartener overwhelmed by a higher reading
level. You can use World Book Online in the library on the public access
computers or at home with your library card.
Another reliable source
for information is Consumer Reports. Most of us know this publication as an
unbiased source for reviews on any product you can think of. They also have
articles on a variety of topics written in the same manner as their reviews.
You do need a library card to access this e-resource.
Tumble books contains a
plethora of ebooks for children in primary and intermediate grades. Tumble
books gives readers the option to read picture books out loud or listen to a
recording of the story. It is possible to read graphic novels meant for primary
and intermediate school aged children. There are games and songs and videos to
watch as well.
We can also help students
find source material for papers they need to write, whether it is from our
library or another within the Prairiecat consortium. If you need pizazz for a
poster display, check out our die-cuts that can be used in the library to
create visual interest.
For students aged 5-17
who live in the Herscher school district but not in Limestone Township,
Kankakee, or Fossil Ridge library districts, it is possible to get a Non-Resident Cards for Kids library card.
This will give children who normally wouldn’t have access to a library card an
option to utilize the library to its fullest.
The process for getting a card is simple. Stop in with your
Driver’s license or State ID and a piece of mail to verify your address.
Persons under the age of 18 will need a parent’s signature. If you live outside
of Limestone Township but not in another library district (such as Fossil Ridge
or Kankakee), you may need to pay a non-resident fee.
