OTHER ONLINE LIBRARIES:    
link to Harris County Public Library eBranch
Did you know that you can use the Harris County Public Library system with your Montgomery County Library Card? So, if you live in Kingwood and it would be easier to stop in at that library, bring your card along and check out books there....it's that easy. Click on the link to search their catalogue and put books on hold.
link to Project Gutenberg
The brainchild of Michael Hart, Project Gutenberg includes lots of famous and important texts that are freely available to everyone in the world! There are over 20,000 ebooks that you can download and read for free. So, if you forgot your book at school, check here and see if you can find it online.

The best part of the Houston Public Library site for teens is their SPORTS PAGE, although I also enjoy RANDOM DIVERSIONS. However, this site is heavy with other informatioin that is worth time--if you are a teen that is.
 
link to teen space
Homework help, writing advice, graphic novels guide, poetry wikis, sports, money, jobs--another great place for teens and to get the straight skinny on life.
link to montgomery county library
...a great place to order books if WOMS library doesn't have them. Just use your library card to reserve a book on line. The librarians there will email you and let you know when your book is ready to pick up! They also have way more audio books both to reserve and to download.
 
       

Research Stuff
If you have to research a topic for class, it's smarter to start with databases. Databases are provided by the state with the taxes your parents or guardians pay. These sources are already approved, and you don't have to worry about evaluating them to see if they are fake. They are available through the Internet, but they are not considred Internet sources. These are controlled sources while anyone can post on the Internet.
