World Book Online
August 9th, 2013

The World Book Web offers a reference system for all age groups seeking accurate and relevant information. Over 18 data-base sites that can be used from the very youngest pre-schooler to the College student that needs help in writing a research paper.

World Book’s two reference sites for younger patrons features educational games, Stories, Songs, Poems (all read by “Human” professional readers) and information written at a lower reading level.

The Advanced site for High and collegeĀ  students as well as adult patrons features a “One Integrated Search” for both secondary and primary sources.

The World Book motto for the last 90 years has been, “Easy Reading is Hard Writting”. World Book allows readers of all reading abilities the opportunity to explore their world around them.

Most library systems have World Book Online. For example, at the Multnomah County Library online, its at https://multcolib.org/resource/world-book-encyclopedia. You will need an ID, which is usually your library card ID number and a password. The password is usually your online library password. If you have a problem, talk to your librarian.
