Warwickshire Libraries are offering a range of online services to help out with today’s hectic lifestyles.

For example, searching World Book Online will give you answers to homework questions like:

What is the population of Australia?

What is the longest river in the world?

How many countries in Africa?


Using our online resources you can also:

Find the Mona Lisa on Grove Art Online

Read a potted history of your favourite pop group in the Encyclopaedia of Popular Music through Grove Music Online

Find your nearest cub scout or brownie group on our Community Information Database

Listen to classical music instantly online through the Naxos Music Library


Did you know?
You can use our online service 24/7 from wherever you are, or by using one of our library PCs. It’s free- all you need is a library card.

If you haven’t got a library card then visit your nearest Warwickshire library or go to http://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/libraries to join the library and start your voyage of discovery now!

Andrew Button, Virtual Library Strategy Officer, enthused: "Our online service is so convenient for the Twenty First Century information hunter and for all those busy people out there who can’t get into a library. The information they need is free and only a click away!”
