Database training

Appointments can be made by any individual (whether homeschooled or not) for an introduction to the many licensed databases that are available to library card holders.  These include the ones listed to the left under Library Links.

The Shannon Library occasionally hosts exhibits and interactive displays from Science Alberta.  These are open to everyone, but may be of particular interest to homeschool families.
